How to Watch Thunder vs Pacers

Read More on Sports

The Thunder are coming off a double-overtime game and will also be slightly short-handed, as Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso, and Isaiah Joe are not available tonight. It will be up to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren to carry a heavy workload once again as Oklahoma City continues its title defense. The Thunder picked up a 125-124 win over the Rockets on opening night.

Indiana is playing their first games of the season and will have to figure out how to stay afloat this year without Tyrese Haliburton, who will miss the year while recovering from a torn Achilles. Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith will have to expand their roles both as scorers and playmakers in his absence, something they proved they are capable of last year during the Pacers' NBA Finals run.

This is a great NBA Basketball matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
