The last meeting between the two teams was on 10 November 2022 with the match taking place at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.
After trailing by as many as 18 points, the Nuggets defeated the Pacers, 122-119 as Nikola Jokic recorded 24 points, four rebounds and six assists in 21 minutes of play for the winners.
The Nuggets are placed at the top of the Western Conference standings having registered 30 wins and 13 defeats from 43 matches.
Meanwhile, the Pacers are placed eighth on the Eastern Conference standings having recorded 23 victories and 22 defeats from 45 games.
Pacers head coach Rickie Carlisle discussed the effect of the absence of Tyrese Haliburton in the second half of his side's 132-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, January 16.
"Listen, Tyrese is a great young player," Carlisle said after their defeat to Bucks at the Fiserv Forum.
"He's certainly an All-Star player. We miss him a lot. That said, you know, this game was winnable with the guys we have available.
"We needed to be more efficient. Our attention to detail needed to be better."
