What to Know
The Pacers will be playing the full four quarters on Thursday, but they’re expected to have things wrapped up well before that. They will take on the Detroit Pistons at 7:00 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse after having had a few days off. The Pistons took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on the Pacers, who come in off a win.
The oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Pacers and the Raptors didn’t disappoint and broke past the 245.5 point over/under last Wednesday. Indiana had just enough and edged the Raptors out 127-125. Winning is a bit easier when you nail 11 more threes than your opponent, as the Pacers did.
The Pacers’ success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Tyrese Haliburton led the charge by shooting 5-for-9 from long range and dropping a double-double on 21 points and 12 assists. Haliburton didn’t help the Pacers’ cause all that much against the Hornets last Monday but the same can’t be said for this game. The team also got some help courtesy of Pascal Siakam, who scored 23 points along with seven assists and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Pistons’ recent rough patch got a bit rougher last Wednesday after their third straight defeat. The match between them and Phoenix wasn’t a total blowout, but with Detroit falling 116-100 on the road it was darn close to turning into one. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Pistons in their matchups with the Suns: they’ve now lost seven in a row.
Indiana’s victory bumped their record up to 31-25. As for Detroit, they have been struggling recently as they’ve lost six of their last eight games, which is in line with their 8-46 record this season.
The Pacers were able to grind out a solid win over the Pistons in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, winning 131-123. Will the Pacers repeat their success, or do the Pistons have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.

Braden Smith spent four seasons with Purdue basketball proving all the power conference programs who overlooked him missed out.
Now the former Boilermaker point guard has a chance to do the same in the NBA.
Smith, a Westfield native, is headed to the Pacers after Indiana traded for him when the Chicago Bulls selected him with the 38th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, a source confirmed to IndyStar.
Smith is Purdue’s third draft pick in five years, joining lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Zach Edey among a group of now 11 NBA draft selections to play at Purdue under Matt Painter.
Here’s a look at Smith’s Purdue career and what he brings to the Pacers.
Before capping a career that includes two Big Ten regular season and two Big Ten Tournament championships, along with helping Purdue end a 44-year Final Four drought, Smith broke former Duke guard Bobby Hurley’s all-time NCAA assists record.
Along the way, Smith took home the 2025 Bob Cousy Award as the nation’s top point guard in a season where he also was the Big Ten Player of the Year. A two-time consensus first-team All-American, Smith finished his Purdue career eighth in career points (1,932), third in steals (249) and has the top three assist seasons in school history that helped add to his NCAA record total of 1,103.
Smith’s knock is his 5-foot-10 1/2 height measurement, but that didn’t deter him from being one of college basketball’s top players.
What Smith lacked in height, he made up for in basketball IQ. He’s lethal with a midrange jump shot and showcased an unblockable fadeaway that allowed him to shoot over lengthier defenders. He mastered manipulating defenses while playing with marquee big men the last four seasons.
His role in the NBA likely will be not require him to be the team’s primary playmaker immediately. Smith’s awareness of that fact pushed a more defensive-minded approach in preparation for the next level. At the NBA Draft Combine in May, Smith showed he’s capable of defending elite guards.
Smith is an elite competitor who never showed to shy away from the dirty work, which is something that can help him earn NBA minutes as a rookie while trying to find his footing in an unfamiliar backup role.

The body of a 13-year-old boy was recovered from Lake Michigan during a multiple-day search near a beach in Michigan City, Indiana.
Officials did not provide further details.

Michigan City police said officers responded to a possible drowning just before 5:40 p.m. on Monday near Washington Park Beach.

A search was initiated with dive efforts, a fishing boat, drone technology, and a medical helicopter deployed.
The Michigan City Fire Department said three divers suffered minor injuries during the search and are being treated at Franciscan Health. Fire officials said divers encountered “challenging water conditions” before the search was suspended.
Officials have not identified the body recovered.
