Pacers Look to Extend Streak Against League-Leading Cavs

The Indiana Pacers return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight for a marquee matchup against the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. Riding a six-game winning streak, the Pacers (22-18) are one of the hottest teams in the NBA and aim to replicate their 108-93 upset win over Cleveland on Sunday night.

The Pacers’ bench was instrumental in Sunday’s victory, with contributions from Obi Toppin, Thomas Bryant, and Jarace Walker. However, the team’s defensive effort was the real star, holding Cleveland to under 100 points for the first time this season.

With Tyrese Haliburton doubtful due to a hamstring injury, the Pacers will once again lean on Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell to handle the ball. Cleveland, led by Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland, will look to bounce back and avoid a rare back-to-back loss. Tipoff is at 7 p.m., and fans can catch the action on TNT or tune in to the Pacers Radio Network.
