The reigning NBA MVP makes his only visit to Indy on Wednesday night.
The Pacers (5-5) return to action at home when they host Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.
After a monster game against the dynamic frontcourt of New Orleans, Myles Turner and friends face an equally daunting task against the Nuggs, with MVP Jokić not only anchoring the front court with dynamic running mates, Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr., but also orchestrating the action.
The Pacers will need to continue their solid play of late which has leaned heavily on several players contributing in big ways individually to make the whole a whole lotta trouble for opponents. That also means, Turner will need all of that additional help from the likes of Halibutron, Hield, Mathurin and anyone else up for some production.
