The Pacers are coming off an electric win against the Toronto Raptors, where native son Nembhard iced the game in the final seconds.
we thought this looked familiar.🤔

Nembhard has now done this multiple times this season and is absolutely looking like the steal of the draft. The Pacers brought three Canadian players as starters against the Raptors and it was one of those starters that iced the game. However, the Pacers now need to turn their eyes to the class of the league, the Boston Celtics.
Although recent comments from Jaylen Brown may have you believe there is trouble in paradise in the Celtics locker room, we expect them to still be a formidable opponent when the Pacers arrive in Boston.
The question is, will Tyrese Haliburton be on the court and playing against the Boston Celtics with the Indiana Pacers on March 25th?
The Pacers have not upgraded Haliburton from questionable, so Tyrese may still be sitting out this game as well. The Pacers are likely continuing to be cautious with their young superstar, especially given the team doesn’t truly have much to play for this season.
Pacers Injuries
- Chris Duarte, questionable, ankle injury
- Tyrese Haliburton, questionable, right ankle sprain
- Kendall Brown, out, shin surgery recovery
- Trevelin Queen, questionable, G League
Celtics Injuries
- Jaylen Brown, available, facial fracture
- JD Davison, out, G League
- Danilo Gallinari, out, left knee
- Mfiondu Kabengele, out, G League
- Payton Pritchard, doubtful, left heel
The Indiana Pacers upcoming opponents
The Pacers continue a tough recent schedule with three potential playoff teams in the Hawks, Mavericks, and Bucks. The Pacers will need to win these games relatively consistently if they want to have any chance of making the play-in games.
Pacers @ Hawks March 25th
Pacers vs Mavericks March 27th
Pacers vs Milwaukee March 29th
Jaylen Brown comments indicate Pacers should be in mix for Celtics star
The Pacers must constantly be on the lookout for opportunities to strike with stars that are unhappy or requesting a trade.
