The Indiana Pacers will face off against the Memphis Grizzlies this Thursday as NBA action returns to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers (30-23) currently hold the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference, while the Grizzlies (36-18) are positioned second in the Western Conference, setting the stage for an exciting matchup between two competitive teams.
The Indiana Pacers recently ended their two-game losing streak with a thrilling 134-130 comeback victory over the Washington Wizards.

Bennedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton also made significant contributions, each scoring over 20 points to help secure the win. Offensively, the Pacers rank just inside the top 10, averaging 119.0 points per game, though their defense allows 115.6 PPG, placing them 21st overall in the league.
On the other hand, the Memphis Grizzlies have been struggling slightly, suffering their second loss in three games after a 128-114 defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers last week. Despite their recent dip in form, the Grizzlies remain one of the top teams in the Western Conference and will look to bounce back against the Pacers. This game promises to be a compelling clash as both teams aim to solidify their standings and build momentum as the season progresses.
The Memphis Grizzlies' last game was an away loss. The LA Clippers prevailed at Intuit Dome 128-114. Gregory Jackson scored 15 points, Jaylen Wells scored 18, and Desmond Bane scored 23 points.
Last time out, the Indiana Pacers prevailed 134-130 (OT). It traveled to Capital One Arena to play the Washington Wizards. Tyrese Haliburton scored 20 points, Bennedict Mathurin scored 28, and Obadiah Toppin scored 31 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.
In their most recent meeting at FedExForum, the Grizzlies prevailed. triumphing 136-121 against the Pacers. Six Grizzlies victories have occurred in the last ten meetings between these clubs.
Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane has been on a scoring tear, recording 20+ points in each of his last five games. He now has a prime opportunity to extend this streak as the Grizzlies head to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to face the Indiana Pacers.
Bane has been in excellent form since January, averaging just under 21 points per game (ppg) across 13 January contests and 21.3 ppg in four February games leading up to the All-Star break. Despite concerns about a long layoff potentially disrupting his rhythm, Bane has proven capable of maintaining his production, averaging 19+ points on 3+ days of rest and scoring 20+ in five consecutive games.
The upcoming matchup against the Pacers favors Bane’s playing style, as the game is expected to be fast-paced and high-scoring. Memphis ranks second in pace on the road, while Indiana plays at the 10th-fastest pace at home. Additionally, Bane will benefit from facing a Pacers defense that has shown inconsistency, allowing an average of 23 ppg to shooting guards and giving up 124+ points in each of their last three games before the break.
Bane’s three-point shooting, particularly on the road where he drains 39% of his six attempts per game, adds another layer of advantage. In his final game before the break, he knocked down six three-pointers against the LA Clippers and has made 3+ triples in six of his last 17 games since January 1.
The Pacers’ defense, which allows 36% shooting from beyond the arc and an average of 13 three-pointers per game at home, could struggle to contain Bane’s perimeter scoring. Furthermore, the Grizzlies’ underrated defense has the potential to slow down Indiana’s offense, creating opportunities for Bane, Ja Morant, and Jaren Jackson Jr. to capitalize. This could lead to Indiana suffering its seventh loss in its last eight games against Memphis and its third consecutive defeat at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
