The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, after losing to the Atlanta Hawks on the road this Monday. They had only eight available players in the contest.
The shorthanded Pacers were led in scoring by Tyrese Haliburton, who scored 25 points and 13 assists in the loss to Atlanta earlier this week.
Rick Carlisle missed this two-game road trip due to personal reasons, the team announced this afternoon. However, he has returned to the team and was available to coach against the loss to Atlanta.
Myles Turner is out for the rest of the season but is making good progress. Indiana has just six more games left in the 2021-22 NBA season.

Indiana Pacers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Indiana Pacers are shorthanded as they will be the rest of the season with injured players sitting out for the season. Their young core is even depleted missing Duarte and possibly Jackson in this contest, who is questionable to play.
The Nuggets have won their last two games and the Pacers have lost their last 4, losing those games by a combined 80 points. The Pacers don’t have the personnel and are not in a position to beat a team of Denver’s caliber.
Pacers 97, Nuggets 110
