What to Know

The Indiana Pacers and the Detroit Pistons will face off at 7 p.m. ET Oct. 22 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Indiana was close but no cigar on Friday as they fell 137-134 to the San Antonio Spurs. The contest was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but the Pacers had been the slight favorite coming in. A silver lining for them was the play of shooting guard Tyrese Haliburton, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 12 dimes.

Meanwhile, Detroit has to be hurting after a devastating 130-106 defeat at the hands of the New York Knicks on Friday. Detroit was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 72-52. Detroit's loss came about despite a quality game from small forward Saddiq Bey, who had 26 points in addition to seven boards.

It was close but no cigar for Indiana as they fell 121-117 to Detroit when the two teams previously met in April. Can the Pacers avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
