What you need to know about the Pacers

Indiana will be looking to snap a four-game losing streak after suffering a 133-112 loss to Atlanta on Tuesday. Guard Chris Duarte has been the team’s best player of late, scoring 22 points against Cleveland last Sunday and added 25 points against the Hawks. Indiana held a 20-point lead in that meeting with the Cavaliers, but it let it slip away in the second half. 

The Pacers are expected to have some fresh faces on the court on Friday night after completing a huge trade earlier this week. Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson are all supposed to make their Indiana debuts, but Malcolm Brogdon will remain sidelined with an Achilles injury. Haliburton and Hield were each averaging more than 14 points per game for Sacramento. 

What you need to know about the Cavaliers

Cleveland is working former Indiana wing Caris LeVert into its lineup after acquiring him in a deal with the Pacers last Sunday. LeVert scored 11 points off the bench in Wednesday’s 105-92 win over San Antonio, which marked the third straight win for the Cavaliers. Star guard Darius Garland returned from a four-game absence (lower back) to score a game-high 27 points against the Spurs. 

Garland leads the team with 19.9 points and 8.1 assists per game. Center Jarrett Allen has been playing well too, averaging 19.7 points and 17.6 rebounds over his last three games after being left off the Eastern Conference All-Star team. The Cavaliers have won 12 of their last 15 games heading into this contest.
