### Indiana Pacers vs. Golden State Warriors Preview
The Indiana Pacers have fallen from grace this season and currently sit second from bottom in the Eastern Conference standings. Riding a three-game losing streak, the Pacers have struggled to build an identity on both ends of the court. They average just 110.3 points per game, ranking 28th offensively, while their defense concedes 119.2 points, placing them 22nd in the league.
Despite their offensive challenges, the Pacers lead the league in rebounds with an average of 48.9 per game. However, their ball movement has been poor, with only 23.3 assists per game, the second-lowest mark in the NBA.
Injuries have been a major concern for Indiana this term. Alongside Tyrese Haliburton on the injury report, T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Obi Toppin (foot), and Kam Jones (back) have been sidelined since October. More recently, Bennedict Mathurin (toe), Johnny Furphy (ankle), and Quenton Jackson (hamstring) were added to the list.
On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors have experienced a mixed start to their season. After an initial burst of back-to-back wins, they have struggled to maintain momentum and currently hold a 5-5 record. Following consecutive road losses to the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets, the Warriors return home aiming to protect their unbeaten record at Chase Center.
Golden State is averaging 116.1 points per game and conceding 116.7, reflecting a fairly balanced performance on both ends of the court. Injury concerns hover over the Warriors as well, with Steph Curry (illness) and Al Horford (foot) listed as questionable for the upcoming game.
