Obi Toppin vs Victor Wembanyama: Wembanyama is a rookie sensation, and his size makes him a mismatch every night. He is averaging 20.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game.

He starts alongside Zach Collins, meaning he is usually playing at the power forward spot. If that is the case tonight (this is the Spurs first back to back this season, so Wembanyama’s status is currently unknown) then Toppin will likely get the task of defending him thanks to his size alone. The other Pacers starters are too short, and Myles Turner will need to handle Collins.

Toppin will need to be at his best on both ends of the floor to keep up in this matchup. Drawing fouls and forcing turnovers will be key.

Pacers vs Spurs Injury Report

The Pacers are healthy and are currently only listing their two-way contract players — Kendall Brown, Oscar Tshiebwe, and Isaiah Wong — as questionable due to their contract status.

The Spurs are playing on the second night of a back to back, so they have not yet released an injury report. They were without Charles Bediako, Sir’Jabari Rice, and Devin Vassell yesterday.
