Behind the league’s number one defense, the Indiana Pacers have raced to the NBA’s best record with 32 wins against 7 losses. They’ve showed their defensive prowess the last four games containing opponent to just 84.7 points per game—even better than the 88.2 PPG average they give up for the season.

Conversely, the Golden State Warriors are struggling on that end in their recent outings. They gave up 123 and 127 points in losses to Denver and Oklahoma City before hacking out a 97-87 win over New Orleans last Saturday. They have gone 1-3 in the last four after a season-high 10-game winning streak from December 7 to January 21.

On offense, the Pacers turn to Paul George, who has dropped 30-plus points in the last four games. The most recent one was a 36-point outburst over the visiting Los Angeles Clippers as the MVP-candidate dropped 36 points and added 6 rebounds and 3 steals. Lance Stephenshon had 22 points and 12 boards in that game.

The Warriors have had no trouble stuffing the stat sheet lately. Stephen Curry had 28 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals against the Pelicans while David Lee had 22 points and 8 rebounds.
