The Indiana Pacers are back in Indianapolis and will play their first home game of the 2024 preseason on Monday. They'll host the Memphis Grizzlies, a talented Western Conference team that could give the blue and gold one of their toughest tests yet.

Indiana is 1-1 in the preseason while Memphis is 2-1. Both teams won their most recent game and will look to keep up the momentum Monday night, though preseason is more about process than results. The Pacers, for example, would love to see some defensive growth against the Grizzlies, particularly in the first half.
