The Indiana Pacers (0-1) travel to face the Memphis Grizzlies (1-1) tonight at FedExForum to close out the opening week of the 2025 NBA regular season.

Indiana opened its season with a shootout loss to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 141-135 in a double overtime game that highlighted both the Pacers’ offensive firepower and defensive vulnerabilities.

Even without Tyrese Haliburton, who remains out recovering from last season’s Achilles injury, Indiana showed pace and creativity on offense. Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin combined for 68 points.

Memphis, meanwhile, split its first two contests, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 128-122 before falling 146-114 to Miami. The Grizzlies’ offense has been explosive, but defensive lapses have mirrored Indiana’s. Expect a fast-paced, high-scoring contest with little margin for error.

Predictions

Memphis’ depth and healthier roster give them an edge, but Indiana’s offensive punch could keep it close if they limit turnovers.

Prediction: Grizzlies 116, Pacers 108
