Indiana Pacers vs OKC Thunder: Myles Turner is active, final injury report, official starting lineups for April 5
The Indiana Pacers return home for the weekend as they host the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. Both teams are in a tight standings battle for playoff seeding in their respective conferences and are hoping to get back on track after losing Wednesday.
OKC will be without some key talents while Indiana is getting a starter back tonight, so the blue and gold have the health advantage. But the Thunder's style is tough to combat, and it will still be a tricky game for the hosts.
Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.

The Pacers will be missing Bennedict Mathurin (torn right labrum) tonight. Myles Turner (sprained right second finger) is back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's game. Isaiah Wong and Oscar Tshiebwe are inactive as a part of their two-way contracts.
