Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for March 20 | NBA 2024-25 season

The Indiana Pacers continue their five-game homestand on Thursday night when they welcome the Brooklyn Nets to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers are coming off a home win over the Dallas Mavericks, while the Nets put up a valiant effort in their loss to the Boston Celtics.

Brooklyn and Indiana are facing each other for the third time this season. They split the first two games, with the Nets earning a 99-90 win on Dec. 4 at the Barclays Center. The Pacers evened the series with a 113-99 victory on Jan. 6 in Brooklyn.

The Nets are six games behind the Miami Heat for the final play-in tournament spot at 23-46. They have been struggling recently with just two wins in their last 10. The Pacers, on the other hand, are looking to extend their two-game winning streak.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers Predicted Injury Reports

Nets

The Brooklyn Nets have seven players on their injury report but only two players are injured. All seven players are out, with Dariq Whitehead assigned to the NBA G League. Reece Beekman, Tyson Etienne and Tosan Evbuomwan are under two-way deals, so they have a limited number of games allowed in the NBA.

De'Anthony Melton, who was acquired from the Golden State Warriors in the Dennis Schroder trade, has already been ruled out of the season. Cam Thomas is also out for the remainder of the campaign with a hamstring strain, while Cameron Johnson was given rest.

Pacers

According to ESPN, the Indiana Pacers have two players on their injury report. Isaiah Jackson has been ruled out of the season after tearing his Achilles back in November. Tyrese Haliburton missed the first game of a back-to-back but is likely a game-time decision.

No other players are on their current report, but that could change due to playing a tough game last night. It won't be surprising if the Pacers will rest a few of their starters for Thursday's game.
