Indiana Pacers vs Dallas Mavericks: Aaron Nesmith is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for February 25

The Pacers host the Mavs tonight

The Indiana Pacers play the Dallas Mavericks tonight on the front end of a back-to-back. It's the second game of a homestand for the Pacers, who have won two games in a row.

That's still a far lower level than Dallas, who have seven-straight victories. They are one of the best teams in the NBA right now, with star guards Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic both in form. They will be a tough out for the blue and gold.

Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.

The Pacers will be without Aaron Nesmith (right ankle sprain). Jalen Smith was listed as questionable but is available to play. Isaiah Wong is inactive as a part of his two-way contract.
