Pacers vs. Nuggets Injury Report & Predicted Lineups: Latest Updates on Nikola Jokic, Aaron Nesmith, Jamal Murray

Akash

Indiana aims to rebound Wednesday after a 135-119 loss to Cleveland ended its brief two-game surge over Washington and Chicago. The Pacers close a four-game homestand against Nikola Jokic and a shorthanded Nuggets squad missing Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, key scorers sidelined by injuries.

Spencer Jones, stepping in for Gordon, flashed upside with a career-best 28 against Dallas, despite a modest 4.5-point average. Pascal Siakam continues to pace Indiana in points, boards, and steals, while Jokic leads Denver across the box score, including 11 assists per game. Both teams dropped Monday matchups, adding urgency before Indiana’s Friday trip to Chicago.
