Starting Lineups
*Subject to change because Obie still hasn't settled on his starting unit.
- 
Devin Harris, all-star, will be a load for Earl Watson with his speed. The Pacers need to help Earl out and rotate, which is something they haven't done effectively against opponents in the first half of games, digging themselves 20+ point deficits. On the road, the Pacers cannot afford to go down 20 points against a team desperate for a win, no matter what their record is. And it all starts at the point of attack. Earl Watson has been playing well in the starter's role.
- 
Luther Head is shooting better than his career average from the field, but only 28% from deep. Courtney Lee shoots less than 40% from the field, but injuries and poor overall team play have contributed to this sophomore slump. Lee is still a dangerous force, and Head and the other shooting guards need to recognize this.
- 
Danny Granger is coming off of a strong 4th quarter performance against the Phoenix Suns, and looks to continue his roll after coming back from foot injury. Chris Douglas-Roberts has been a bright spot in a very dark Nets season.
- 
Troy Murphy collected a double-double against the Nets last meeting. He didn't shoot well in Phoenix. He has a definite rebounding edge against Yi, but Yi Jianlian's offense has come to life this season, and the Chairman is putting up impressive numbers. He will be a handful on defense for Troy Murphy.
- 
Roy Hibbert has gone toe-to-toe against Lopez before and the matchup was pretty even. Although Brook accumulated more points, he was less efficient than Roy from the floor. This time, with the weapons coming together for the Pacers, hopefully Roy will have more chances to go one-on-one against Lopez in the post.
The Key Reserves
- 
- 
- 
- 
The second unit is going to be a huge factor in this game. New Jersey doesn't lack bodies, but it lacks viable bench offense. With Mike Dunleavy in the second unit, the Pacers have a great chance to outscore the Nets in bench points. AJ Price looks to continue his pleasantly surprising play, and
The Coaches
- 
Kiki Vandeweghe sounds funny. Jim O'Brien coaches funny.

Final Points
-Don't get into foul trouble. The Nets may not be able to to much as a team, but individually they can sink free throws.
