The Pacers have lost five of their last six games to fall to 6-10 on the season but aren't blaming their slide on anything in particular.
"We've just got to get better at winning, period," point guard T.J. Ford said. "I don't think it has anything to do with the (schedule)."
Indiana lost to Orlando on Saturday night thanks to a huge performance from Dwight Howard, after losing to Charlotte in overtime on Friday night.
"It's not just Dwight Howard," center Rasho Nesterovic said. "It's been a couple nights in a row. We just have to figure out the way to overcome this. It's as simple as that. You can talk about all the this and that, but you have to stick together as a team and start winning."

Mavericks' coach Rick Carlisle faced off against Danny Granger and the Pacers on Tuesday night and believes that the forward will be an All-Star sooner rather than later.
"The deal he just signed is a deal he deserves because he's stepped up his game every single year," Carlisle said. "He gained my confidence very early as a rookie. He's going to be an All-Star player. He may be an All-Star this year if he continues at this pace. Their team is going to be good in the East."
Granger, who was coached by Carlisle in his first two NBA seasons, signed a $60 million contract extension with the Pacers on Oct. 31.

Tracy McGrady will rest his sore left knee when the Rockets take on the Pacers on Wednesday night.
"I'm out tonight," McGrady said. "The knee is a little sore so tonight I'm taking it off.
Houston's initial course of action was to let McGrady play through the soreness.
"It's not being able to go out and play at a high level tonight because my knee is a lot sorer than normal. It's being cautious," McGrady added. "It's one game I'm sitting out and looking forward to coming back and playing the next game.
"It's all about being able to go out there and contribute and help my team win ballgames. I don't think I can be effective going out there tonight the way I feel so I'm going to take the route of not playing. I believe in my team that they can go out and win."
