Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks: Bruce Brown is available, Andrew Nembhard is out, final injury report, official starting lineups for January 5

The Indiana Pacers host the Atlanta Hawks tonight for the first time since the two teams scored a combined 309 points in November. It was one of the highest scoring games in NBA history.

Indiana is playing better defense of late, but this game should still be high scoring. With Tyrese Haliburton and Trae Young facing off, expect fireworks. The Pacers have won five games in a row and are playing at a higher level than the Hawks right now, but Atlanta picked up a big win over Oklahoma City earlier this week.

Here are the official injury reports and starting lineups for the action.

Indiana Pacers injury report

The Pacers will be missing young guard Andrew Nembhard. He is out for the second-straight game with a mid-back sprain. Bruce Brown, who missed five games with a bone bruise in his right knee, is available for the second-straight outing. Oscar Tshiebwe, Kendall Brown, and Isaiah Wong are inactive on their two-way contracts.
