Let's go through the injury reports of the Indian Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of their match up on Thursday.
The Indiana Pacers will go against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second of their three-game homestand on Thursday, April 10. The Pacers (48-31) are coming on the back of a 104-98 win over the Washington Wizards, whereas the Cavaliers (63-16) recorded a significant 135-113 win over the Chicago Bulls in their previous game.
The Cavs have already booked the No. 1 seed in the East, and their focus will now shift to the postseason. On the other hand, the Pacers are seated in the fourth spot in the East and are just two games behind the No. 3 New York Knicks. If the Knicks end up losing their remaining three games, and the Pacers win their remaining three, they will leapfrog the former in the standings.
Talking about their previous meetings this season, the Cavs and the Pacers have already clashed twice, with both teams securing one win each. Both the sides will aim to take a lead over their rivals, before they meet in the season finale. Ahead of the fixture, the Cavs and the Pacers have released their injury report. Let’s have a look-
