Indiana Pacers vs Portland Trail Blazers preview: Start time, where to watch, injury report, betting odds January 19
The Indiana Pacers wrap up a back-to-back on the West coast tonight as they take on the Trail Blazers in Portland. The Pacers played in Sacramento on Thursday and beat the Kings.
The blue and gold were missing Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam in that game, so it was an impressive victory. They'll try to ride that momentum tonight in Portland. The Blazers are 3-7 in their last 10 games but beat Brooklyn on Wednesday to snap a four-game losing streak.

Pacers vs Trail Blazers Injury Report
The Pacers are on a back to back and have not yet released an official injury report. They were without Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith, and Andrew Nembhard last night.
The Trail Blazers listed Moses Brown, Robert Williams III, and Shaedon Sharpe as out. Deandre Ayton is probable.
Key Matchup
Myles Turner vs Duop Reath: It's not clear who is and isn't going to play for Indiana on Friday, but Turner was rock solid on Thursday and is healthy for the Pacers. He's been great of late, and his two-way play at center is changing games.
Tonight, he'll go against Reath, a stretch big man who is evolving as a player with more opportunity this season. Turner is the better player, but he will need to prove it tonight if Indiana wants to win — Reath had 17 points on Wednesday in a victory.
