The Indiana Pacers are set to welcome the Golden State Warriors at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for an anticipated clash of the 2025-26 NBA season on Saturday, November 1. The Pacers finished the previous season as the finalists, and while they were hoping for a solid start to the new season, things haven’t turned favorable for them. They are one of the only three teams that are still winless, and it clearly indicates that they haven’t been able to get used to Tyrese Haliburton’s absence.

The Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, kicked off the campaign with two back-to-back wins before falling to the Portland Trail Blazers. However, it didn’t take them much time to bounce back from the early setback, and currently they are 4-2 in six games. In their most recent clash, the Dubs fell to the Milwaukee Bucks 120-110. In the upcoming game, Steve Kerr’s side would want to get back on track and add another victory to their tally.

While the Indiana Pacers are desperate to end their losing skid and record their first win of the season, their form indicates the upcoming game to be a lopsided fixture. Nevertheless, fans would want the hosts to give a tough fight to their counterparts.

That said, let’s dive into the injury reports and expected starting lineups for the Warriors and the Pacers for their upcoming clash.
