Preview | Indiana Pacers
The Pacers have been boosted by the return of Caris LeVert and Malcolm Brogdon. Although, Myles Turner will miss the game against the Clippers with an ankle problem and TJ Warren is out for the remainder of the season.
Once again, Domantas Sabonis will hold the key to their chances. One of the NBA’s most bankable players, he’s only missed three games this season. The Pacers lie ninth in the Eastern Conference with a 25-27 record, and they will look to dislodge the Knicks from the eighth spot.

Preview | LA Clippers
Courtesy of their winning run, the Clippers are just two games behind the Phoenix Suns in their quest for second place in the West.
Kawhi Leonard sat out their 131-124 win against Detroit Pistons with right foot soreness. And he won’t be playing a part in this game either. Serge Ibaka hasn’t joined the team on their three game road trip while Patrick Beverley has been ruled out for the next 3-4 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand.
Paul George will continue to take the reins in Kawhi’s absence.

The Clippers don’t arrive into this contest as the overwhelming favorites. Both the teams have found momentum and it could be anyone’s game. With Sabonis, the Pacers will look to trouble Zubac in the low post while the likes of LeVert and Brogdon will be a handful on the perimeter.
