Indiana Pacers vs Minnesota Timberwolves: Tyrese Haliburton is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for December 16
The Indiana Pacers take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight as they wrap up a six-game road trip. Indiana hasn't played at home since December 4 and had a deep run in the In-Season Tournament along the way.
Tonight will be a fun contrast in styles with Minnesota holding the NBA's top defensive rating and the Pacers leading the league in offensive rating, though the blue and gold could struggle on that end tonight due to some key injuries.
Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.

The Pacers will be without guard Andrew Nembhard, guard Tyrese Haliburton, and center Jalen Smith tonight. Haliburton injured his left knee last night in Washington while Nembhard and Smith have missed multiple games now. Kendall Brown and Isaiah Wong are both inactive.
