The Indiana Pacers are on the road on Saturday night as they travel to take on the Denver Nuggets in an interconference matchup.

It has been a rough start to the season for the Pacers as they enter Saturday’s game with a disappointing 1-7 record after losing to the Brooklyn Nets at home on Wednesday night.

In Wednesday’s loss to the Nets, Pascal Siakam led the way for the Pacers as he recorded 23 points, six rebounds and 10 assists while Ben Sheppard added 18 points, four rebounds and three assists of his own.

Now the Pacers will try to bounce back as they look to pick up their second victory of the season in Saturday’s matchup against a tough Nuggets team.

On the other side, the Nuggets enter Saturday’s game with a 6-2 record after defeating the Golden State Warriors at home on Friday night.

Nikola Jokic led the way for the Nuggets in Friday’s victory as he ended the game with 26 points, nine rebounds and nine assists while Jamal Murray recorded 23 points, four rebounds and eight assists.

While both teams are looking for a key victory in Saturday’s game, one team may be without multiple key players due to injuries.
