How Injury Report Conveys Pacers' Problem

Indiana is 2-3 in its previous five games following its five-game losing streak. Consistency is merely an aspiration, not a reality, for the Pacers. However, regardless of the demoralization, their injury report provides steady results. 

While Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, Pascal Siakam, and Bennedict Mathurin will play against the Heat, the Pacers' roster has suffered a myriad of injuries, making the bench a game of Russian roulette, as it's hard to gauge who will have enough in their chamber to supplement the starters' production.

Conversely, while the Heat is relatively healthy, their scheduling puts them in a compositing position. Their second game in as many nights could play to the Pacers' advantage.
