Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards preview: Start time, where to watch, injury report, betting odds January 10
The Indiana Pacers host the Washington Wizards tonight in their first game since Tyrese Haliburton went down with an injury this week. They'll try to get by without their star point guard.
Washington beat Indiana earlier this season in one of the Pacers worst losses of the year, though the Pacers did beat the Wizards on opening night. Tonight, the blue and gold will look to repeat their performance from back in October rather than the one from last month.

Pacers vs Wizards Injury Report

For the Wizards, Jules Bernard, Jared Butler, Eugene Omoruyi, and Ryan Rollins are out.
Key Matchup
Bruce Brown vs Jordan Poole: When the Wizards beat the Pacers last month, Poole was sensational. He had a season-high in both points (30) and assists (eight) as Washington rolled to a win. He looked awesome, and it was the Wizards best win of the campaign.
The Pacers need to slow him down tonight. Brown, and perhaps sometimes Andrew Nembhard, will be tasked with doing so. They can't let the former NBA Champion get going like he did in December.
