The Indiana Pacers play the final road game of their 2024 preseason slate on Thursday night as they take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pacers lost their preseason opener on Tuesday in Atlanta.

The Cavs also fell in their first exhibition, so both teams will be looking to get in the win column. These games are about getting up to speed and ironing things out, so expect both teams to care more about how they are playing than the result. Indiana, for example, only played their starters for half of the game on Tuesday night.
