For the game, they will be without one of their best players, as Kyle Kuzma has been ruled out due to an ankle injury.
Underdog NBA: "Kyle Kuzma (ankle) listed out for Saturday."
The NBA Champion forward is in the middle of a solid season with averages of 21.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest (while shooting 45.3% from the field).
This will be the third game in a row that the 27-year-old has missed.
Despite his stellar play, the Wizards have had a volatile season.
They are 25-29 in 54 games, which has them as the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference (the final play-in tournament spot).
Over the last ten games, the Wizards are 7-3, and they are 13-12 in the 25 games they have hosted at home.
The roster has serious talent (Kuzma, Kristaps Porzingis and Bradley Beal), so they should be able to finish as a play-in tournament team.
Last year, they missed the NBA Playoffs, but they also dealt with injuries.
As for the Pacers, they got off to an excellent start to the year but have fallen off over the last few months.
They are 25-32 in 57 games, which has them as the 12th seed in the east.
Over the last ten games, the Pacers are 2-8, and they are also in the middle of a three-game losing streak.
On the road, they have gone 8-19 in 27 games away from Indianapolis.
