Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns preview: Start time, where to watch, injury report, betting odds January 26
The Indiana Pacers host the Phoenix Suns on Friday for the final game between the two teams in the 2023-24 season. Phoenix beat Indiana just a few days ago thanks to excellent clutch play.
The Pacers will hope to get revenge this time around. Indiana ended their losing streak on Thursday night, but Phoenix is on a seven-game winning streak. They will be a tough foe — the Suns star trio is in a groove.
"I've got a lot of love for Frank, his family... It's good seeing him be in a good coaching position," Pacers center Myles Turner said of Suns head coach Frank Vogel earlier this week.

Pacers vs Suns Injury Report
The Pacers are on a back-to-back, so they have not released an injury report yet. Guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring injury management) was out last night while Isaiah Wong (two-way contract) was inactive.
For the Suns, Bol Bol and Damion Lee are listed as out. Eric Gordon is questionable.
Key Matchup
Pascal Siakam vs Kevin Durant: The last time these two teams played, Durant was unbelievable. He scored 40 points without attempting a free throw, becoming the 16th player in NBA history to pull that off.
Completely stopping him is almost impossible, but Siakam will have to try. After having his first practice with the team, Siakam had a triple-double in a win on Thursday, so he will try to keep up that run of play and match Durant's level.
