Recent Performance

The Pacers conclude a six-game road swing hoping to split wins and losses.  A loss here means a 2-4 record on this trip.

Indiana has won six of their last ten games. 

Phoenix is looking to go five straight with a win here.  They've won seven of their last ten.

Pascal Siakam will be making his second appearance with the Pacers.  He finished with 21 points in his first game with Indiana.

Siakam is averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 rebounds per game this season with 39 played in Toronto.

"They're going to work well," Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said of Haliburton and Siakam finding rhythm with each other. "We're going to keep working at getting Pascal immersed in what we're doing."

Phoenix is finally healthy. The Suns prior three wins before beating New Orleans have featured three different 30-point scorers leading the way. Grayson Allen had 31 against the Heat, Bradley Beal had 37 against the Lakers, and Devin Booker had 34 against the Blazers.

The Pacers are averaging 121.6 points per 100 possessions but are just 0-9 when scoring 110 or fewer points this season.
