Key Match-Up
Victor Oladipo v Cleveland guards
Victor Oladipo is the engine that makes the Pacers go, he is the leading scorer (21.4ppg) and leads the team in assists per game as well with (4.2.)
Victor Oladipo is one of the better play-makers in the NBA, and he seems to step it up a notch when he plays the Cavaliers. Last season Oladipo averaged (25PPG) against the Cavs in four regular season match-ups and then averaged just under (23PPG) in the first round series. This season Oladipo is off to a good start averaging over 21 points a game as well as over four assists a game, Indiana usually runs their offense through Oladipo but their ball moment allows for other to consistently get good looks.
In order for the Cavs to control Oladpio Saturday night it will have to a group effort as Cleveland doesn’t present any one guy that can take him completely out of the game. George Hill will probably be tasked with guarding Oladipo to start the game, but don’t be surprised if Cedi Osman ends up guarding him a little bit, Osman is a very active defender and has the quickness to keep Oladipo in front of him. Collin Sexton and Rodney Hood will each be given the opportunity as well, Sexton won’t back down from the challenge which will be fun to watch the rookie take on the All-Star.
