During the last four games, the Indiana Pacers have seen great contributions throughout their entire team; which is something they haven’t seen so much of this season. Even the bench is producing for the Pacers lately, scoring 159 points during the team’s last four games.
With that being said, the core three players for the Indiana Pacers this season haven’t disappointed. Let’s get into it.
In the last four games, Malcolm Brogdon has averaged 15.5 points and 7.0 assists per game. Brogdon has proven that he’s an efficient scorer, and tries hard getting his teammates involved in games. Brogdon is in the top five of the NBA in assists this season with 8.5 per game.
The addition of Brogdon this season is certainly paying off for the Pacers. The Pacers likely would not be as successful as they have been this season without him.
Domantas Sabonis has contributed to an impressive 17.3 points and 15.8 rebounds per game during the Pacers last four games. Sabonis did spend a short amount of time on the injury report earlier this season, but has come back just as strong.
Sabonis currently ranks in the top three of the NBA with his dominant 13.3 rebounds per game. In the nine games Sabonis has played in this season, he has seven double-doubles; this guy is a rebounding machine!
T.J. Warren has become an important addition to the Indiana Pacers this season. During the last four games, Warren is averaging 20 points per game. Warren also leads the Pacers with 1.5 steals per game, which currently ranks in the top 20 in the NBA. With the great defensive efforts from Warren, it’ll be great to see him paired with another defensive powerhouse in Myles Turner.

Warren could be the secret weapon for the Indiana Pacers this season.
It looks like things are moving in the right direction for Victor Oladipo, as the Pacers have assigned Oladipo to their G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Oladipo will need to start getting back into the routine of things again.
Edmond Sumner had a promising start to this season through the team’s first three games. While averaging 7.0 points per game, Sumner fractured his right hand and is being going through a four-week evaluation prior to returning.
With Myles Turner our due to an ankle sprain, the window for Goga Bitadze opened up. Bitadze, who is out with a concussion, should be available to play in Friday’s game against the Rockets.
Next. Each team's best era. dark
Between Brogdon, Sabonis and Warren, the Pacers have a solid trio of guys to run with for now. The Indiana Pacers hope to keep their winning streak alive when they travel to take on the 8-3 Houston Rockets on Friday night.
