The Indiana Pacers host the Toronto Raptors tonight in a game featuring many reunions. Bruce Brown and Jordan Nwora are returning to Indianapolis for the first time since they were traded for Pascal Siakam, which is the most direct link between the two teams.

On top of that, former San Antonio Spurs teammates Doug McDermott and Jakob Poeltl will face off, as will ex-New York Knicks Obi Toppin and RJ Barrett. There are relationships everywhere today, yet the Pacers will hope that they can keep rolling. They've won three straight games while Toronto has two victories in a row.

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