Four observations: Pacers step up on defense behind Myles Turner ... (The Indianapolis Star)

Here are four observations. Buddy Hield, Aaron Nesmith, Myles Turner help win game on D. The Pacers needed defensive stops down the stretch in a game that was ...

He was big for us, made a lot of big shots, especially in the third quarter and second half." "So we were giving him the ball and allowing him to attack in space. "With LaMelo guarding him and being in foul trouble, you know he's not going to take as many risks as he shouldn't because he needs to be on the floor," Haliburton said. 5 when Haliburton and McConnell were both out and Nembhard posted 31 points and 13 assists in a win over the Golden State Warriors. Haliburton said Nembhard was particularly effective because Hornets guard LaMelo Ball was guarding him and got in early foul trouble. That was Ball's sixth foul, getting him out of the equation down the stretch, and Hield hit one of two free throws to give the Pacers the lead. He's responded with spectacular rim protection, inside-outside scoring and just enough rebounding to keep the Pacers from being destroyed on the glass. However, the rookie guard has become more aggressive in recent games and the Pacers seem more intentional about finding shots for him. He still entered Sunday's game with a league-leading 10.2 per game and seems devoted to putting a gap in his lead. Then on the other end, Turner had a massive block on Mason Plumlee to get the Pacers the ball back and Haliburton hit two free throws to put the game away. McConnell struggling and then suffering a second half injury and he helped carry the Pacers while he was out there. After a three-point play by Turner tied the game at 107, the Hornets had a chance to take the lead back on the following possession.

NBA Odds, Expert Picks, Predictions: 5 Best Bets Including Hornets ... (The Action Network)

The Action Network NBA analysts break down their five best bets for Sunday's slate, including a play on Hornets vs. Pacers.

Consequently, this is a letdown spot against a surprisingly strong Pacers team that the market keeps underrating. The Raptors don’t do a good job defending the 3-point line, and that is a necessity against this Dame-led Portland team. This Raptors defense may also be a bit overrated after playing the sixth-easiest schedule of opposing offenses thus far, according to dunksandthrees.com. The Raptors are in a free fall; the Blazers are more of in a gentle glide downward. This Blazers team doesn’t do a good job of setting their defense as they rank just 20th in the NBA in Transition Defensive Rating. The Raptors offense will also have an edge in transition where they rank first in the NBA in Offensive Rating. Backup Drew Eubanks offers next to nothing on the glass and as a rim-protector, so I expect Siakam, Barnes, and the Raptors’ slashers to have their way in the paint today. Their defense has gone from 114.2 (22nd in the league) to 113.2 (14th), just one spot ahead of the Raptors, according to Dunks and Threes. Now, the Blazers are 22nd in offense the last two weeks but third in defense while Toronto is 15th. They rank 27th in Transition Frequency (13.7%), which measures how often teams’ possessions start with a transition play, per Cleaning the Glass. But the Raptors’ offense is horrendous right now; over the last two weeks they are 27th in offense. The NBA continues with nine games across Sunday, and our experts have a handful of best bets for you to consider.

Rebounding is always a threat to derail a Pacers win and even in the last win over Charlotte, they lost the battle of the boards. But the beauty of the Pacers over the past few weeks, is that you never know who is going to step up to provide those winning moments. The Pacers have won their past five home games and seven of the last nine games overall. This is due in large part to franchise guard LaMelo Ball missing the first 13 games of the seasons and 24 games overall. The Pacers beat the Hornets after LaMelo first returned, 125-113 but then the youngest Ball brother went on the shelf for the next 11 games. LaMelo missed first 13 games and 24 overall this season.

I think in the last couple of games, I’ve found a little better balance.” – Nembhard on being more aggressive Last year, the team had a record of 15-26 at this point before finishing 25-57. From there, the Pacers were able to come up in the clutch. Hield shot 4-for-12 from 3-point range in the game. In the last 5:21 of the opening quarter, the Hornets scored 14 unanswered points to lead 27-15. It’s an exciting, special year at Gainbridge.” – Turner on the team coming up clutch “When we're at home, and we just hear the fans and how loud they get after we make play after play after play, it just all builds on each other,” Turner said. Indiana will play at the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Turner also had nine rebounds and four blocks in the game.

Insider: With his future in limbo, Myles Turner proves himself ... (The Indianapolis Star)

INDIANAPOLIS -- Myles Turner zig-zagged all over the floor creating choke points for every one of the Charlotte Hornets actions on their penultimate ...

He's averaging 22.4 points per game and shooting 59.2% from the floor in his last five games and 17.3 per game with a .575 shooting percentage over his last 10. Turner hasn't been great from 3-point range lately, making just one of his last 12 and five of his last 21, but he gets more and more opportunities to attack the basket on slips and rolls, rim runs, post-ups and even dribble drive opportunities. "It's another day at the office," Turner said. He's earned that trust, of course, with 1,063 career blocks, a figure that puts him 90th in the NBA's all-time list even as he's still two months from his 27th birthday. Carlisle and his staff have shaken up the starting lineup this season with defense in mind, putting the rookie Nembhard and third-year wing Aaron Nesmith on the floor because they've proven themselves to be the teams' two best perimeter defenders. All 12 of those came in the the game's final 6:41, which included a pair of 3-point plays, a long step-back jumper from just inside the arc and his only 3-pointer of the game with 3:03 to go that tied the game at 100. Turner dropped down into the paint as Rozier he collected the pass from Plumlee and tried to drive from the left elbow, then met Rozier at the edge of the lane forcing him to pass it again. He's shooting 37.9% from 3-point range and 78.4% from the free throw line, in both cases his second-best career marks, his effective field goal percentage (61.7%) and true shooting percentage (65.7%) are career highs by a wide margin even though his usage rate (20.9%) is also a career high. However, because of the way this current Pacers team is constructed, Turner is bearing nearly as much of a load for it as Haliburton and its hopes could come crashing down like a Jenga puzzle if he were removed. Turner landed and stayed underneath the bucket to relish the moment, throwing a powerful right hook at the air and bellowing something primal while point guard Tyrese Haliburton dashed down the floor with the ball in his hand waiting for someone to foul him. None of this has been attributed to or confirmed by the Pacers or Turner, and, of course, neither side has shown their cards as far as what dollar figure Turner would be willing to sign for or what the Pacers would be willing to pay him. The Pacers center was there at half court when Hornets big man Mason Plumlee set a back screen on Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard, getting low and cutting off Hornets guard Terry Rozier when he tried to go to his left around the screen.
