The surprise entry into the top 10 this week is the Indiana Pacers, who have won 7 games in a row, including wins over Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Chicago. They also beat Golden State a few weeks ago, and are starting to look like a definite playoff team in the weak Eastern Conference, and they may even make it to .500 before the season ends.
The Memphis Grizzlies dropped from the top 10 to make room for Indiana, and the reason is injuries. 4 of their 5 starters are currently out, and they have lost 3 of 4 on their current road trip. Luckily, none of the injuries seem to be serious, and they will rebound and finish the season strong.

Georgia Southern
The Eagles are far from a sure thing today when they play UL Monroe, but I am running out of teams I can pick now that the season is nearly over, so we'll see how this one goes.
