Indiana Pacers vs Brooklyn Nets preview
The Pacers are on a two-game winning streak and have won seven of their last 10 games. This is a crucial run for them, as they are separated from the fifth-placed Milwaukee Bucks by just 0.5 games. If Indiana can string together a few wins, it can quickly climb the standings.
Indy last played the Phoenix Suns on Saturday and got a convincing 126-108 win. Tyrese Haliburton had 27 points and eight assists, while Myles Turner had 20 points.
