The Pacers will once again sit their top players in the second game of a back-to-back with starters Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard out against the Brooklyn Nets, along with top reserve T.J. McConnell. Jarace Walker and Micah Potter are questionable. The team had already announced new acquisition Ivica Zubac would miss this game.
Center Jay Huff will be the team’s top scorer participating in the game at 8.6 points.
The Nets will be missing Michael Porter Jr., their leading scorer, with Nic Claxton, their No. 3 scorer and top rebounder, downgraded to doubtful.
The Pacers have the second-worst record in the NBA at 14-40 with Brooklyn fifth-worst at 15-37.
