Pacers Host Rockets in Primetime Battle

The Indiana Pacers (34-25) will look to defend Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight as they take on the Houston Rockets (37-24) at 7 p.m. Houston enters the game on a seven-game road losing streak, a trend Indiana will look to extend. The Pacers have been strong at home, posting an 18-10 record, and they’ll rely on Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner to set the tone inside.

The Rockets bring a tough interior presence, leading the Western Conference in offensive rebounding. N’Faly Dante averages four boards per game on the offensive glass, and Houston will need his presence to counter Indiana’s high-powered offense, which is averaging 116.6 points per game.
