Who is Playing for Pacers vs. Rockets?

Conversely, the Pacers' injury report indicates the multitude of issues that have led to a slow start to the 2024-25 season. Indiana's injuries placed the team in compromising scenarios, like starting Enrique Freeman at center against the Raptors on Monday. In a significantly less depressing fashion, the Rockets have a few players on their injury report.

Due to sickness, Jalen Green, one of the Rockets' intriguing pieces, is questionable for Wednesday's match. However, the team's other star, Houston's starting center Alperen Sengun, evokes quite the feeling of doom as a center who will terrorize the decimated Pacers' front court. 

Can the Pacers' stars rise to the occasion and beat a playoff-caliber team while the rest of their roster fills their injury report with more players than riders in an Uber Pool on a Saturday night? For the Pacers to be taken seriously as a playoff contender, it starts on Wednesday against the Rockets.
