The new-look Indiana Pacers play the fourth game of their ongoing road trip tonight as they take on the Kings in Sacramento. The Pacers acquired Pascal Siakam via trade on Wednesday, so their shape has changed dramatically.

Indiana has dropped two games in a row and is banged up while Sacramento has lost three straight outings. Both teams sit at 23-17 entering the game and will be looking to bounce back and earn a victory.

Here are the official starting lineups and injury reports for the action.

Indiana Pacers injury report

The Pacers will be without star guard Tyrese Haliburton, who was listed as questionable due to his hamstring injury and is progressing. Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard were listed as questionable as well, and they are both out.
