Injury Report
Indiana Pacers:
- Out: Johnny Furphy (F, right ACL tear; out for season), Tyrese Haliburton (G, right Achilles tendon tear; out for season), Obi Toppin (F, right foot stress fracture).
- Questionable: Quenton Jackson (G, G League two-way), T.J. McConnell (G, right hamstring soreness), Aaron Nesmith (F, left hand strain), Taelon Peter (G, G League two-way), Micah Potter (F, left hip contusion), Ethan Thompson (G, G League two-way), Ivica Zubac (C, left ankle sprain).
- Note: The Pacers’ backcourt is severely depleted without Haliburton and potentially McConnell, shifting responsibilities to Andrew Nembhard.
Brooklyn Nets:
- Out: Tyson Etienne (G, G League two-way), Chaney Johnson (G, G League two-way), E.J. Liddell (F, G League two-way), Michael Porter Jr. (F, right knee tendinitis).
- Probable: Noah Clowney (F, left ankle sprain).
- Note: Porter Jr.’s absence removes a key scorer (25.0 PPG), but Claxton (18.3 PPG, 6.6 RPG) remains available to anchor the interior.
The injuries heavily favor the Nets, as the Pacers’ extensive list depletes their guard depth and frontcourt options.
Key Player Matchups
- Pascal Siakam (Pacers F) vs. Nic Claxton (Nets C): Siakam leads Indiana with 23.6 PPG and 6.7 RPG.
Claxton (8.3 PPG, 6.6 RPG) provides rim protection—expect Siakam to exploit mismatches for 20+ points and 8+ rebounds.
- Andrew Nembhard (Pacers G) vs. Cam Thomas (Nets G): Nembhard steps up without Haliburton; Thomas averages 12.8 PPG but is inefficient (39.8 FG%).
Nembhard’s defense could limit Thomas under 15 points.
- Bennedict Mathurin (Pacers G) vs. Ziaire Williams (Nets F): Mathurin (various high games) vs. Williams (9.5 PPG)—Mathurin could feast on Brooklyn’s weak perimeter.
- Ivica Zubac (Pacers C, questionable) vs. Michael Porter Jr. (Nets F, out): If Zubac plays, he bolsters Indiana’s paint; without Porter, Brooklyn lacks spacing.
