Indiana Pacers vs Utah Jazz: Aaron Nesmith and Bruce Brown are out, final injury report, official starting lineups for January 15
The Indiana Pacers wrap up a back-to-back in the mountains tonight as they take on the Jazz in Utah. The Pacers fell in Denver on Sunday afternoon.
It was only Indiana's second loss since Christmas. They have been playing great basketball of late, with their only two defeats in the last 11 games coming against the Nuggets and Boston Celtics, two championship favorites. The Jazz are equally hot, though, and have won five games in a row as well as eight of their last 10 games.
Here are the official injury reports and starting lineups for the action.
