Indiana is one of the best stories of the season, taking the trial of losing their franchise player in Paul George head on, and riding a transformed Victor Oladipo to one of the better records in the Eastern Conference. They’d need a lot of breaks to get home court in round one, but even if they’re playing on the road in round one, they’re going to be a headache for whichever team they face. Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner are playing well, Darren Collison looks recovered from a knee injury, and they are a balanced, energetic team. They’ll be fun to watch in the playoffs this year.
