Good timing for Sam Hauser to get a spot start as he tries to get going following a string of injuries to begin the year. He’s done well in these spots and should get a bunch of looks. #Pacers shut him down in the ECF while selling out to take the 3 away, but they’ve adjusted. – 7:39 PM

As expected, Pacers forward Obi Toppin (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for tonight in Boston. Holiday and Porzingis are questionable.
Toppin rarely misses games — and he’s posting career-high numbers.
