Garima Ranawat

Who's in and who's out for Monday's Pacers vs Kings?

The Indiana Pacers will be up against the Sacramento Kings in an NBA 2025-26 regular season clash on Monday, December 8. This is going to be the first time that both teams will face each other in the current season. The hosts will enter the gameplay on the back of a blowout victory over the Chicago Bulls. The game saw Pascal Siakam drop a stellar 35-point performance, combined with 10 rebounds and one assist, while Bennedict Mathurin had 28 points, five rebounds, and three assists. 

On the other hand, the Sacramento Kings recorded a convincing victory over the Miami Heat in their most recent matchup. Zach LaVine led the charts with 42 points as well as five rebounds and one assist, as all starters finished in double digit scores. Both Kings and the Pacers are struggling in the current season, and they would want to record a significant win on Monday to extend their winning streak.
