The game tips off at 7 p.m. ET and can be seen on Spectrum SportsNet and Bally Sports Indiana/Midwest.
Los Angeles (9-10) finds itself back under .500 after losing a close game to the New York Knicks. It’s a short turnaround for the squad as the Indiana Pacers are up next to finish a five-game road trip. The Lakers are currently 1-3 on the trip. LeBron James should be back in the lineup after serving a one-game suspension.
The Pacers (8-11) have struggled to start the season as well. Despite having Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner in the starting lineup, the unit hasn’t been good enough to string together good wins. Rookie first-round pick Chris Duarte has been an immediate help off the bench.
Lakers at Pacers notable injuries:
Lakers: The Lakers have yet to submit an official injury report. Trevor Ariza and Kendrick Nunn should still be out. Austin Reaves was upgraded to doubtful in the last contest. Anthony Davis was questionable last game with flu-like symptoms but played. LeBron James should return from his suspension.
Pacers: OUT – T.J. Warren; Questionable – Caris LeVert

Advice and prediction
The Lakers aren’t favored to win despite LeBron returning to the lineup. Los Angeles hasn’t been able to field consistent lineups this season, so it’ll be interesting to see how this game goes. The Lakers need to defeat the Pacers to be 10-10 before returning home Friday. It will come down to what version of Indiana shows up: the fluid chemistry one or the one that looks lost. It’s been the former during the last two contests.
Take the Lakers plus-4.5, Lakers plus-155 and the under 217.5.
Prediction: Lakers 105, Pacers 102
