EDGE Analysis
The Pacers will be without Nembhard for a third straight game, but the guard remains day-to-day. His next chance to play will be Monday in a rematch against the Celtics. With Bruce Brown (knee) also out Saturday, the Pacers will likely look to T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield to soak up the available minutes.
