Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns: Predicted Starting Lineups
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers could start Malcolm Brogdon and Caris LeVert in the backcourt. Chris Duarte and Justin Holiday should share the frontcourt, while Goga Bitadze takes position as center. Keifer Sykes had a big impact in the last game, so he could play the most minutes off the bench in this one.
Phoenix Suns
The Suns will likely deploy the same starting lineup they used in the game against the Mavericks. Chris Paul and Devin Booker should spearhead the team from the backcourt.
Mikal Bridges and Jae Crowder could share the frontcourt while JaVale McGee starts at center. Bismack Biyombo and Cameron Payne are expected to play significant minutes off the bench.
