The Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers finish their season series tonight as the two teams play in Indianapolis. The Lakers won both of the first two meetings, including the most recent one five days ago.

Los Angeles is rounding into form thanks to a much-improved offense since the All-Star break. They are huge and tough to take down — Indiana will need to be on their A-game defensively to keep up. The Pacers allowed the Lakers to score 150 points last weekend.
