(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Indiana Pacers look to start 3-and-0 for the first time in four years when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Pacers moved to 2-and-0 with a 90-85 victory at Toronto on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers are 1-and-1 and are coming off a 105-89 win at Detroit on Wednesday night.
Danny Granger leads the blue-and-gold in scoring through two games, averaging 18.5 points per contest with second-year guard Paul George averaging 15 points. The Cavaliers are led in scoring by veteran forward Antawn Jamison, who averages 15 points per game.
