The Pacers started Jalen Smith, Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, Andrew Nembhard, and Buddy Hield against the Hornets. Rookie sensation Bennedict Mathurin remains their sixth man but could enter their starting lineup at any time. 

The Rockets started Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr., and Eric Gordon Monday against the Mavericks. If Kevin Porter Jr. misses the game, it’s likely the Rockets will start Kenyon Martin Jr. at small forward and have Green and Gordon split ball-handling duties.
