The Pacers are without Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell against the Nets. Indiana has to replace its starting point guard and usual backup across the rotation.
Haliburton supplied 24 points and 10 assists in the first meeting. His absence is the strongest reason for Under 231.5.
Brooklyn has shot 42.5% through its first 5 games. With Egor Demin and Mikel Brown Jr. also out, Nolan Traore is a probable starter in a depleted guard rotation.
