The Indiana Pacers play host to the Atlanta Hawks at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Thursday evening.

They fell behind early in the contest and trailed by nine at halftime. They had no answers in the third and the deficit grew to 17, heading into the final frame. The Pacers put together a stronger fourth quarter, but it was not enough, as they fell for their second straight loss. Domantas Sabonis continued his strong play as he led the way on Wednesday, with 17 points, 13 rebonds, eight assists and a steal. Caris LeVert followed up with 14 points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal, while T.J. McConnell added 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds and three steals.

Myles Turner (toe) will remain sidelined, while Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is listed as questionable for action.

Meanwhile, this also marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Hawks (37-30), as they are coming off their third straight win on Wednesday night, where they topped the Suns at home. They got out to a hot start in the contest, with a 42-point first quarter, but they only led by two points at halftime. They took total control in the second half, where they outscored the visitors, 68-38, to close out the win. Seven players scored in double digits to power the Hawks in the win, led by Clint Capela, who totaled 18 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks. Trae Young followed up with 16 points, 12 assists, two rebounds and a steal, while Lou Williams and Danilo Gallinari chipped in 16 points each. The Hawks will look to keep rolling and build on their, 16-19, road record, as they look to end a four-game losing streak on the road.
