The Indiana Pacers play host to the San Antonio Spurs, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Friday evening.

The Pacers (11-7) have been without their star, Victor Oladipo (knee), for the last two games but still managed to pull off a win, before they fell in their most recent contest. Oladipo remains questionable for action on Friday. Luckily for the Pacers, they have two very solid back-up guards in Cory Joseph and Tyreke Evans, that can pick up the slack if Oladipo remains out. Domantas Sabonis has been a great boost off the bench for Indiana, as he is averaging 14.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists, in 24 minutes per game. Sabonis is actually leading the league in field-goal percentage, as he is shooting 69.6 percent from the field. The Pacers have won their last three home games, and are 6-3 at home this season. They sit fourth place in the East, 3.5 games behind the first seed.

Meanwhile, the Spurs (8-9) have lost two straight. First, they were simply outdone by the Pelicans in New Orleans, but their most recent loss was a heartbreaker, as they lost, 104-103, at home against the Grizzlies. The contest concluded as DeMar DeRozan hit what would have been a game-winner, before it was nullified by a couple of free throws awarded to Memphis in the final seconds. Nonetheless, DeRozan has been great for the Spurs, averaging 24.9 points on 48 percent shooting, 6.3 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game. LaMarcus Aldridge has been playing at an All-Star level as well, averaging 17.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game. This marks the first game of a four-game road trip for the Spurs, who are just 2-6 on the road this season. They sit 11th place in the crowded West, 1.5 games behind eighth place.
