Indiana Pacers vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Bennedict Mathurin and Karl-Anthony Towns are out, final injury report, official starting lineups for March 7

The Pacers are back at home tonight

The Indiana Pacers play their first home game of March tonight as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both teams are 2-2 in their last four games and are hoping to make up ground in the standings with about five weeks left in the campaign.

Minnesota blew out Indiana earlier this season, but the Pacers didn't have Tyrese Haliburton that night. The blue and gold are healthier than they were the last time they battled the Timberwolves, and the visitors are dealing with injury issues of their own.

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

Indiana Pacers injury report

Indiana will be without Doug McDermott (right calf strain) and Bennedict Mathurin (right shoulder sprain) tonight. Isaiah Wong and Quenton Jackson are inactive as a part of their two-way contracts.
