After setting a new franchise record with their 14th consecutive loss, the Indiana Pacers will host the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Trail Blazers won the team's first matchup on Mar. 8, 131-111.

While Indiana owns the worst record in the NBA, the Trail Blazers are 33-36 and own the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. At least a Play-In appearance seems highly likely for Portland as it is nine games ahead of the No. 11 seed Memphis Grizzlies.

Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Trail Blazers ahead of Wednesday night's game.
