Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with a 24-point, 11-rebound double-double that included five assists and two blocks. Tyrese Haliburton furnished a 17-point, 13-assist double-double that included three rebounds, one steal and one block. Obi Toppin and Benedict Mathurin contributed matching 16-point, two-assist tallies while recording six and four-rebounds, respectively. Myles Turner posted 14 points, 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal.

The Pacers will list Aaron Nesmith (ankle) as questionable for Friday's game. Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out.

The Pelicans (35-25) had been trending in the right direction going into the All-Star break, but after the loss to the Pacers on Wednesday, they've now dropped three of the last four games. Against Indiana, Brandon Ingram led the way with 30 points, supplementing them with six rebounds and four assists. CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson contributed matching 23-point efforts while also compiling six rebounds and four assists, respectively. Herbert Jones registered 14 points, four rebounds, one assist and one block. Trey Murphy II finished with 11 points, seven assists, four rebounds and one steal.
