On Friday night, the Indiana Pacers will face the New Orleans Pelicans in a matchup between two 2-3 teams looking to improve their records. The game will take place at the Smoothie King Center at 8 p.m. PT, with the Pacers currently favored by 4.5 points despite injury concerns for the Pelicans.

Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton is struggling with his shooting but has excelled as a passer, while Pascal Siakam leads the team in scoring. The Pelicans, however, are dealing with significant injuries, missing three starters, including Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum, which could impact their performance.
