On Thursday, the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, will witness an exciting clash as the Indiana Pacers host the Golden State Warriors (GSW). The Warriors, concluding a challenging five-game road trip, seek redemption against the Pacers after going 0-2 against them last season.
However, facing the second leg of a back-to-back set might pose a challenge for Steph Curry and his teammates. The Pacers, coming off a well-earned 132-129 victory against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, may face the game without newly-named All-Star starter Tyrese Haliburton, who is managing a hamstring injury.
The absence of Haliburton could impact Indiana's home-court advantage, potentially levelling the playing field. Golden State, with only one loss on their current road swing, aims to rebound from Wednesday's 127-104 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, where Curry had a quieter game with nine points.
Anticipating a bounce-back performance from the two-time MVP, the Pacers-Warriors matchup promises intensity and strategic battles, adding further intrigue to this highly anticipated game at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
