Pacers Ready to Take on Trail Blazers with Full Roster

The Indiana Pacers will take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night in the second game of a back-to-back. Both teams are coming off games the previous night, but the injury report gives Portland a noticeable advantage.

After mounting a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback to edge out the Utah Jazz 112-111 on Monday, the Pacers have little time to celebrate. Now, they must face a scrappy Trail Blazers squad (21-29) on the road—while dealing with multiple injuries.

One key concern for Indiana is Aaron Nesmith, who is listed as questionable with an ankle sprain. Nesmith recently returned from a lengthy absence, missing 35 games due to the same injury before suiting up for the last seven contests.

While the Pacers boast more experience and talent, Portland’s healthier roster could give them an edge, making this a tougher matchup than the standings might suggest.
