The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon, and both teams have extensive injury reports.

For Denver, they have ruled out Vlatko Cancar, Jalen Pickett, Julian Strawther, and Tyson Hunter for this game. Christian Braun and Peyton Watson are also listed on the injury report, but both players are probable, meaning they are expected to play.

For Indiana, they have ruled out Tyrese Haliburton and Aaron Nesmith. Kendall Brown, Oscar Tshiebwe, Jarace Walker, and Isaiah Wong are all listed as questionable for Indiana.

The big name on the injury report is of course Haliburton, who is currently sidelined with a left hamstring strain. The star guard has been incredible this season, and would have been a very tough challenge for Denver. While Haliburton's absence is massive, Indiana has gone 2-0 since he went down with his hamstring injury, so they are capable of winning without him.

The Nuggets are looking to continue their pursuit of the Western Conference's top spot, while holding off a surging LA Clippers team that also seems to have their sights set on the first seed. Taking care of shorthanded teams like the Pacers is important if Denver wants to optimize their seeding, so they will have to remain focused on Sunday even with Haliburton out.

The Nuggets and Pacers will begin at 12:30 PM PST.
