Pacers vs Jazz Injury Report
For the Pacers, Kendall Brown, Isaiah Wong, and Oscar Tshiebwe are questionable. They are all healthy but on two-way contracts, meaning they could be in the G League instead of with the Pacers.
For the Jazz, Josh Christopher, Taylor Hendricks, Johnny Juzang, Micah Potter, and Brice Sensabaugh are out. Keyonte George is probable while Walker Kessler is questionable.
Key Matchup
Myles Turner vs Walker Kessler: Two big men known for their defense will face off today as Walker Kessler and Myles Turner match up down low. Kessler impressed the whole league with his defense as a rookie while Turner has turned heads with his improved offensive game.
If Turner can pull Kessler from the rim and equal his defensive impact, he will be the more impactful big. That's tough to do, though, and both centers will have their hands full all night.
