Atlanta Hawks play the Indiana Pacers Free Live Streaming Free Online NBA 2014 From Indianapolis Sunday Night at 6:00 PM ET
The Pacers only wins in the past three weeks have come on their own floor, and that's a big reason why they don't hold the Eastern Conference lead.
Another home victory could give the top spot back to the Pacers on Sunday night while dealing a blow to the Hawks playoff hopes.
Indiana (53-24) has dropped seven of 10, including six straight losses away from home. Those road woes have played a large part in the Pacers blowing a three-game lead over Miami, which hosts New York on Sunday afternoon.
Despite its struggles, Vogel's team has remained consistent in Indiana. The Pacers are a league-best 34-5 at home -- 24-1 against East foes -- and the only loss in their last six came to the West-leading Spurs.
Indiana faces the West's second-place team, Oklahoma City, next Sunday in its only other regular-season home game after Sunday. The Pacers' remaining three road games include one at Miami on Friday.
So it would seem they need to take advantage of hosting Atlanta (33-42), which has lost 13 of 15 on the road as well as six straight in Indianapolis -- three in last year's playoffs. The teams could meet in the first round for the second straight year if Indiana can grab the No. 1 seed and Atlanta can hang on to eighth, currently one game ahead of New York with two in hand.
Atlanta had its second-best shooting game of the season Friday at 58.5 percent in a 117-98 victory over Cleveland.
"All year and under a lot of difference circumstances we've said we like our group and they're resilient," coach Mike Budenholzer told the team's website. "They played with a lot of focus and effort and attention to detail and all the things we really talk about every night."
