With just a little over one week to go until the end of the regular season, the Indiana Pacers have clinched their second consecutive playoff spot and are in a good position to secure homecourt advantage. However, they are only three games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons in the standings, so it is crucial that they end the season on a high note. They have won three of their last four games and will take on the Utah Jazz on Friday.

The Pacers and Jazz met up once so far this season on February 3. Indiana won the game by one point. While the Pacers are playoff-bound once again, the Jazz are 16-61 and currently own the worst record in the NBA. Still, it is crucial that the Pacers do not play down to the competition and take care of business.

Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Jazz ahead of their game on April 4.

Either way, they are both also out against Indiana.
