Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers Preview

The Warriors have shown flashes of greatness but have also been inconsistent in a couple of games. They last played on Thursday and lost 120-110 against the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Milwaukee Bucks.

Steph Curry had 27 points, while Jonathan Kuminga and Jimmy Butler had 24 and 23 points, respectively. But they were buried by former Warrior Ryan Rollins’ 32 points. The guard, who was waived by Golden State, had a career night against his former team.

Golden State is without De’Anthony Melton (knee) and Alex Toohey (knee).

The Pacers will play the second leg of a back-to-back after suffering a lopsided 128-108 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. The loss came in the team’s opening fixture of the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup.

Indiana, which were in the NBA finals last season, has struggled for consistency as it is without Tyrese Haliburton for the season. Hali injured his right Achilles in Game 7 of last season’s finals.

In Friday’s loss, the Pacers were led by Pascal Siakam’s 18 points. Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson had 17 and 15 points, respectively.

The Pacers’ injury concerns don't end with Haliburton. They are also without T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), Andrew Nembhard (shoulder), Obi Toppin (right foot), Johnny Furphy (foot) and Kam Jones (back).
