Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers
PREVIEW: The Indiana Pacers (1-9) will try to snap a four-game losing run when they visit the Utah Jazz (3-7) on November 11, 2025. After a loss in Golden State on Sunday, Indiana turns to a tired Jazz team on the second night of a back-to-back for its next shot at a tally mark in the win column. The Pacers have struggled shooting the ball this season with an average of 39.6 percent, and Indiana made just 34 percent of its looks against the Warriors on Sunday, marking the club's worst shooting performance since April of 2021. The Pacers boast solid defensive rebounding ranked 2nd and strong defense against three-point shooting ranked 3rd, yet they rank dead last in shots attacking the rim and suffer from poor passing with many ISO plays.
Lauri Markkanen has shouldered the offensive load for Utah as he posts an average over 28 points per night following Walker Kessler's absence. The Jazz feature efficient free-throw shooting at 82.9 percent ranked 5th, though they struggle defensively against three-point attempts and rank 28th in shots allowed from distance. Both teams rank among the NBA's worst offensively, standing at 30th and 29th respectively in field goal percentage, and both shoot under 31 percent from three-point range. If either team can get hot Tuesday night, it will go a long way in deciding the outcome of this first meeting between the two squads.
