This is the first meeting this season between the teams. The Pacers swept both games last season, including a 20-point win in Indy.
The Warriors (35-14) will be without starting forward Draymond Green, who has been playing well but was given the night off by coach Steve Kerr at the recommendation of the training staff. In a bit of a surprise, Jordan Bell, who hasn’t left the bench in either of the last two games, will start in place of Green.
The Pacers (32-16) lost All-Star guard Victor Oladipo to a season-ending injury last week against the Toronto Raptors. Indiana went on to win that game last Thursday, but lost to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.

ROTATION OUTLOOK
Warriors: With Green out, Iguodala seemed the logical pick to start at small forward, but coach Steve Kerr is giving Bell an opportunity. Bell is coming off back-to-back DNPs for the first time this season. ... A bench matchup to watch is big man Kevon Looney against Indy’s Domantas Sabonis, who is having a tremendous season. Durant also could see time against Sabonis. ... Curry has made his last 46 free throws the third longest streak of his career.
Pacers: Losing Oladipo is a massive blow that forces Evans out of his Sixth Man role, and into the starting lineup. That means a likely increase in minutes for point guards Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday.. . . Bogdanovic’s shooting skill (42.9 percent from deep) will test Durant’s perimeter defense, which is why Iguodala will have to be ready. ... In addition to Sabonis (averaging 14.8 ppg and 25.2 ppg), the key players off the bench are Joseph and small forward Doug McDermott. Center Kyle O’Quinn and power forward T.J. Leaf have spent most of the season out of the rotation.
Officials: Eric Lewis (chief), Scott Wall, Aaron Smith.
