KEY GAME INFORMATION

INDIANA: Paul George's departure completely changed Indiana's game plan. Rather than making moves like a potential championship contender, new president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard decided to rebuild on the fly. Conventional wisdom suggests this team will struggle, and it could. But the Pacers seem to be playing like a better unit and may have just enough to sneak into the Eastern Conference playoffs. Although it's expected to be Myles Turner who replaces George as the face of the franchise, the key to Indiana's success this season will be Victor Oladipo, a defensive stopper who can provide the consistent energy the Pacers were lacking last season. Oladipo's ability to play fast and to share the leadership duties with Turner could finally push the 6-foot-4 guard to have that breakthrough season expected from the No. 2 draft pick four years ago.

PORTLAND: The Blazers made few changes in the offseason, sticking with a nucleus of backcourt duo Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, along with Jusuf Nurkic, who joined the team via trade last season and helped fuel a push to the playoffs. The 7-footer known as the Bosnian Beast dropped lost about 35 pounds over the offseason in an effort to become quicker and more agile. A fan favorite, Nurkic suggested going into this season that the Blazers should become the NBA's Bad Boys, drawing inspiration from the Detroit Pistons of the 1980's and early '90s. A key for Nurkic'and the Blazers'is whether he can stay healthy. Another key will be who steps up to provide support for that trio. One candidate is rookie Caleb Swanigan, who was impressive in the preseason with Noah Vonleh recovering from a shoulder injury.

PREVIEW

Pacers motor into Moda to face Trail Blazers

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Indiana Pacers invade Moda Center on Thursday night to face the Portland Trail Blazers with a positive mindset and a chance to continue to climb in the NBA's Eastern Conference standings.

Indiana (24-20) carries a three-game winning streak into Portland, including victories over Phoenix 120-97 and Utah 109-94 to start a five-game road trip.

The Pacers are doing it without center Myles Turner, who will miss his fifth straight game Thursday with an elbow injury.

"The NBA is about adapting," Indiana coach Nate McMillan told the Indianapolis Star. "Injuries are part of it. We have for the most part been able to have guys fill in and be ready to play and continue to win some games with Myles being down."

Indiana shot superbly against Utah -- 53.2 percent from the field, including 14 of 26 from 3-point range.

"Our guys showed toughness," McMillan said. "This is all part of learning how to win games and play the game together while playing without Myles. Our bench did another solid job."

Leading the way is 6-4 shooting guard Victor Oladipo, in his first season with Indiana after the trade that sent Paul George to Oklahoma City. Oladipo, averaging 24.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists, is a leading candidate for the league's Most Improved Player Award. He has also become the spiritual leader of the Pacers.

"I guess Victor has bad days, but I never see them," McMillan said. "We've been down in a lot of games this season, but you look at Victor in the huddle and he's always the same. That calmness has helped us, along with his play. And he has that infectious personality."

Oladipo had 28 points, six rebounds and six assists against Utah, sinking 9 of 16 from the field, 5 of 8 from 3-point range and 5 of 6 from the foul line. Indiana also got 15 points and eight rebounds from center Domantas Sabonis, the other piece in the George trade.

Portland (23-21) is coming off a 118-111 home victory over Phoenix. Point guard Damian Lillard scored 31 points on 11-for-19 shooting, including 4 for 8 from the 3-point line, and 5 for 5 from the foul line. It's the best he has looked in the four games since he returned from missing seven of nine games with hamstring and calf issues, and the most points he has scored since pouring in 39 against Golden State on Dec. 11.

"When I came back, I knew it would take some time to be able to move comfortably," said Lillard, who also had seven assists, five rebounds and only one turnover in 36 minutes. "The last three games, it's gotten better each game. In Minnesota (on Sunday), I felt really good moving around. Tonight I felt almost normal at times."

Portland is seventh in the NBA in defensive rating and 17th in offensive rating. But the defensive rating has gone up while the offensive rating has gone down in recent weeks.

The Blazers have scored 110 points or more in eight of their last nine games, averaging 113.1. Over that span, opponents have averaged 113.8. Before that span, Portland had yielded 100.3 points per contest.

"I think our defense has slipped a little bit as the offense has gotten better," Lillard said. "We're at the point where we're trying to sustain the level of offense we're at now, but also get our defense back to where we want it."
