As the year winds down, the losses continue to stack up. The defeat in Miami brings the streak to eight.
Despite losing resoundingly, there were a few individual statistical successes worthy of praise. First, Andrew Nembhard set his career high in assists with 16.

Hopefully they can keep their play at a high level because we are taking on one of the best teams in the league statistically in Houston.
Luckily, the Rockets are only 3-4 over the past two weeks, so the Pacers might be able to catch them off guard (as improbable as that seems).
Injuries
Fred Van Vleet is out for the Rockets. Sengun is day-today.
For the Pacers, it looks like Sheppard could be back, while TJ and Huff are at risk of sitting out.
