Nets, Pacers Clash Again
The Brooklyn Nets play host to the Indiana Pacers at Barclays Center on Wednesday evening.

This marks the second of back-to-back meetings between the Nets and Pacers, after the Pacers walked away with a, 133-111, home win in their previous encounter on Monday. The Pacers were out to a great start with a 16-point lead after one quarter. They doubled down in the second and pushed their lead up to 28 points at halftime. The Nets had no answers in the third and put up a fight in the fourth, but it was too little, too late. Tyrese Haliburton led the Pacers with 27 points, four rebounds, 13 assists, a steal and a block, while Jalen Smith followed up with 17 points and 10 rebounds. On the other side, Cam Thomas led the Nets with 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting, and Trendon Watford followed up with 21 points, two rebounds, a steal and a block.

The Nets (29-47) will look to get back on track as they face the first game of a four-game home stand with the opportunity to add to their, 17-20, home record. Cameron Johnson (toe) missed the last game but is listed as probable for action, while Dennis Smith (hip) also missed the last game and is listed as questionable.

Meanwhile, the Pacers (43-33) hope to build on their two-game win streak as they head out for a one-game trip with a chance to build on their, 20-18, road record. Myles Turner (finger) is listed as questionable for action.
