Nets at Pacers game preview: How to watch, injuries, starting lineups

November 5, 2025

The Brooklyn Nets (0-7) are still winless at this point in the 2025-26 NBA season and the biggest reason is that the team has failed to put together four quarters of winning basketball. Brooklyn is still trying to find its way to the point where they can be proud of how they played and their latest chance will come against the Indiana Pacers (1-6) and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game following a 125-109 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday in which guard Cam Thomas led the way for Brooklyn to the tune of 25 points and three assists. Minnesota did not have Anthony Edwards available, but Julius Randle was enough to beat the Nets as he notched a triple-double of 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.

The Pacers enter this matchup after a 117-115 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in which Indiana stayed close to the Bucks thanks to Pascal Siakam going off for 32 points and eight assists in the contest. Milwaukee was happy to have Giannis Antetokounmpo on the team to go off for 33 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists as the Pacers were just a few plays away from winning the game.

Here is what you need to know to get ready for this matchup:
