Indiana Pacers vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Pick Prediction by Tony T. Pacers vs. Nuggets Injuries Furphy, Jackson, Jones, McConnell and Toppin are out for Indiana. Mathurin and Nembhard are doubtful. Denver has a clean injury report. Recent Box Score Key Stats Pacers at Nuggets 8PM ET— Indiana fell to 1-7 following their 112-103 home defeat to Brooklyn. The Pacers shot 41% with 36% from three. Pascal Siakam scored 23 points with ten assists. Ben Sheppard posted 18 points with four rebounds. Indiana allowed 42% shooting with 35% from three. Denver is on a back-to-back after hosting Golden St on Friday and winning 129-104.

Brad and Ryan break down a rough night in Indy as the Pacers fall to the previously winless Brooklyn Nets — a loss that felt like a gut punch for a team fighting through a brutal stretch of injuries. Despite strong efforts from Ben Sheppard, Jay Huff, and 10-day signee Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (15 rebounds), Indiana couldn't overcome another cold shooting night from the field and a wild free throw disparity. With five of the next six on the road and the roster still banged up, the guys ask the question no one wants to yet: Is it time to throw in the towel and embrace the tank?
