WHO'S HOT AND WHO'S COLD?! 🔥🥶

The Indiana Pacers have completed their first ten games of the 2026-27 NBA season, and it's time to evaluate EVERY player on the roster!

Alex Golden is joined by Ryan Knight of Pacers Post Up for a fun, in-depth discussion about which Pacers players are trending in the right direction and which ones have gotten off to a disappointing start.

TEN GAMES IN… WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

It's been an eventful beginning to the season for Indiana, with injuries, inconsistent performances, unexpected contributors and plenty of questions surrounding the roster.

Now that we've seen ten games, Alex and Ryan take a closer look at each individual player and decide whether they're running HOT or COLD!

WHO'S HEATING UP?! 🔥

Which Pacers have exceeded expectations? Who has made the most of their opportunities? And which players deserve more recognition for their contributions?

The guys discuss the players who have impressed them most and explain why they're feeling optimistic about their performances moving forward.

WHO'S ICE COLD?! 🥶

Not everyone has gotten off to the start they were hoping for.

Alex and Ryan examine the players who have struggled, what has gone wrong and whether there's reason to believe they can turn things around as the season progresses.

Are these just early-season struggles, or are there legitimate concerns that could linger throughout the year?

EVERY PLAYER UNDER THE MICROSCOPE!

From the established veterans to the young players fighting for bigger roles, nobody is off limits!

Alex and Ryan share their evaluations, debate the tougher decisions and discuss which players could see their stock rise or fall over the next ten games.

IMPORTANT RECORDING NOTE: This episode was recorded BEFORE the Pacers' Monday evening matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. As a result, that game and its individual performances are not included in today's evaluations. We apologize for the timing!

Who's HOT? Who's COLD? And which Pacers players have surprised you the most through ten games?
