The Indiana Pacers host the Boston Celtics for Game 4 of the 2024 Eastern Conference Finals tonight. The Celtics have a 3-0 series lead and have four chances to win once and reach the NBA Finals. The Pacers will do everything they can to avoid being swept.

Boston is more talented, so Indiana has a small margin for error. They'll have to be perfect to win tonight, or any other game for the rest of the series. "It's hard to pinpoint one guy who is the head of the snake," Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan said of the Celtics before the series.

Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for Game 4.

The Pacers will be missing Bennedict Mathurin (torn right labrum) and Tyrese Haliburton (sore left hamstring) tonight. Jalen Smith was a late addition to the injury report with an illness, and he is out.
