Clippers vs. Pacers: Game thread, lineups, TV info and more

The Pacers (15-8) return home after a 3-2 road trip to host the Clippers (17-7) on Monday night.

Paul George returns to the Fieldhouse for the third time since bailing on the Pacers playing some of the best ball of his career. After offseason shoulder surgery kept him out of the Clippers’ first 11 games, PG is averaging 23 points, over 6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 41.7% from three.

PG will need a big game against the Pacers since Kawhi Leonard is taking the night off to manage his load and rest his left knee. The Clips are 3-3 without Kawhi in the lineup, 3-1 since PG’s return.

As for the Pacers, they expect to have Malcolm Brogdon back in the lineup after he missed the game in New York on Saturday with a dislocated finger.
