Just days after their historic 162-point performance in a win over the Washington Wizards, the Indiana Pacers will look to continue their winning trend on Saturday against the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder.
While the Pacers have been hot recently, the Thunder have been even better. They have won eight consecutive games and are 9-1 in their last 10. Additionally, they have lost just three games since the start of February. This will be a big test for the Pacers as they look to end the regular season on a high note.
Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Thunder ahead of their game on March 29.
