Pacers vs Hawks Injury Report
For the Pacers, Andrew Nembhard (lower back soreness) is questionable. Their two-way contract players — Oscar Tshiebwe, Kendall Brown, and Isaiah Wong — are listed as questionable due to their contract status. Their G League season began last week.
For the Hawks, Kobe Bufkin, Mouhamed Gueye, Seth Lundy, and Miles Norris are out.
Key Matchup
Tyrese Haliburton vs Trae Young: Two All-Star talents will face off at the point guard position tonight. Both players are averaging a double-double with their scoring and assist numbers.
Young is better at getting to the foul line than Haliburton, but Haliburton has been a better play finisher this season. They are both brilliant offensive talents, and whoever prevails in their individual matchup could swing the game — though they likely won't be guarding each other often.
