The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Indiana Pacers and the Bricktown Ballers announced their starting lineup against Indiana with two staple starters out.

Circumstances have changed a bit for the Pacers since June 22. Star guard Tyrese Haliburton, who suffered an Achilles injury in the first half of Game 7, has yet to play this season while Indiana has limped to a 10-35 record. Meanwhile, the Thunder (37-8) still sits atop the NBA standings, even with a wave of injuries.

Both OKC and Indiana have dealt with extensive injuries this season.
