Indiana Pacers vs Los Angeles Clippers: Tyrese Haliburton is in, Myles Turner is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for December 18
The Indiana Pacers return home from a six-game road trip and host the Los Angeles Clippers tonight. The Clippers are on fire and hold the NBA's longest winning streak right now.
They will be a tough opponent for the banged-up Pacers, who will be without multiple rotation players and have other depth pieces on assignment in the G League. Indiana will rely on their top-end talent to play well. They have lost three games in a row.
Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.
