Game preview: Hawks go to Indiana with worst road record in East
When/where: 7 p.m. today, Bankers Life Fieldhouse
TV: Fox Sports Southeast
Stream: Fox Sports Go
Radio: 92.9 The Game
Injuries: Hawks—DeAndre' Bembry (abdominal), Antonius Cleveland (ankle) and Malcolm Delaney (ankle) are out.
Pacers—Darren Collison (knee) is questionable.
What to watch for: The Hawks (20-45) and Pacers (37-28) conclude the season series with their third meeting in 15 days. The Hawks beat the Pacers 107-102 at Philips Arena on Feb. 28, but lost the other two matchups, including a 116-93 defeat at Indiana on Feb. 23. The Hawks are 5-26 on the road, which is tied with the Grizzlies for the worst mark in the league.
With the Hawks on their way to the draft lottery, coach Mike Budenholzer has been flexible with his lineups over the past two games. In the victory against the Suns, Budenholzer rested Kent Bazemore and finished the game with three other starters on the bench: Dennis Schroder, John Collins and Dewayne Dedmon. In the loss at the Raptors on Monday, Budenholzer played the starters while the game was competitive in the fourth quarter but also shuffled in reserves Mike Muscala, Tyler Dorsey and Jaylen Morris.
The Pacers are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Darren Collison could return to play tonight after missing 11 games because of a knee injury.
