Indiana Pacers vs Golden State Warriors Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Dec. 23 | 2024-25 NBA Season
The Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors lock horns on Monday at Chase Center. It's their first meeting of the season. The Pacers enter this clash with a 14-15 record, while the Warriors are 15-12. It's an enticing clash that could go right down to the wire. Indiana is on a four-game winning streak, and the Warriors have homecourt advantage but only three wins in their last 12 games.
Nevertheless, with an impressive 113-103 win over the Timberwolves in their previous outing, the Warriors have some momentum. Steph Curry returned to form with a 31-point night after a two-point showing in a 51-point loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Dennis Schroder will be three games into his Warriors stint and is growing comfortable with the team's schemes.
On the other hand, the Pacers have shrugged off a poor start to get back on track. Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam are peaking at a crucial time, helping the Pacers avoid going off the rails in this early phase of the season. Over the past four games, Haliburton has averaged 20.0 points and 10.3 assists, shooting on 48/46/78 splits, while Siakam has tallied 22.2 ppg and 10.3 rpg on 52/50/68 splits.
