The Indiana Pacers, who have lost each of their last eight games, will take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET.
While the Pacers currently own the second-worst record in the NBA, the Trail Blazers are 30-34 and own the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference and are six games ahead of the No. 11 seed Memphis Grizzlies. With roughly a month left in the season, they are looking for a late push to secure at least a Play-In spot.
Sunday's game is the first of two matchups between the two teams this season. Portland is 6-4 in its last 10 games against the Pacers and 16-6 against them since the 2014-15 season.
Here is the full injury report for the Pacers and Trail Blazers ahead of Sunday's game.

Portland has been without Kris Murray since Mar. 1 due to an illness, and he is questionable for Sunday's game.
