How to watch Pacers vs Hawks NBA preseason game with & without cable

On Tuesday, October 8 at 7:30 PM EST, the Indiana Pacers will have their preseason opener on the road against the Atlanta Hawks.

Heading into the game, the Pacers are already dealing with a few injuries. Most notably, Isaiah Jackson and rookie Johnny Furphy both sat out Sunday's FanJam and have been limited during the first week of training camp. Additionally, James Wiseman, who signed with the team this offseason, played just one half due to injuries he is also dealing with.

Currently, it is unknown whether any of these three players will suit up in the Pacers' first preseason game. Regardless, this is everything you need to know about how to watch Indiana's matchup against the Hawks on Tuesday.

The most notable way to watch the game on cable is through NBA TV, which follows the same rules as if you are watching through NBA League Pass. Dealing with blackouts if you are watching locally is typically a problem, but that will not be the case this time around given that the game is technically a nationally televised game.

Projected Pacers starting lineup

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Pacers will likely roll out their normal starting lineup against Atlanta:

Point guard: Tyrese Haliburton

Shooting guard: Andrew Nembhard

Small forward: Aaron Nesmith

Power forward: Pascal Siakam

Center: Myles Turner

Given the nature of preseason games in the NBA, it is likely these five will play limited minutes and leave the rest to younger players or those on the bubble fighting for a roster spot.

Regardless of what happens, there is a lot of excitement in Indiana to have Pacers basketball back. After their impressive playoff run last season, the team is looking to prove their doubters wrong once again and show the basketball world they are a legitimate contender in the NBA.
