Both teams looking tto get back on a winning track as the Pacers have lost three straight and five of their last six, while the Nets have lost two in a row and three of their last four. Brooklyn will have to do it without one member of the Big 3 as Kevin Durant is not expected to rejoin the team until Friday due to health and safety protocols.

The Celtics duo of Jayson Tatum  (10th, 27.0 ppg) and Jaylen Brown (26.4 ppg) are one of three pairs of teammates to each average over 25 ppg this season — joining Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving and Portland’s Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.

In their first meeting of the season, Tatum (32 points) and Brown (27 points) combined for 59 points to help the Celtics hold off Beal (41 points) and the Wizards for a 116-107 win. Will all three players have big scoring nights once again?
