The Pacers wrap up preseason play this week with back-to-back games starting on Monday night in Detroit. On Tuesday, the Pacers will host Maccabi Haifa from the Israeli Super League in their only home preseason game.
The Pacers will treat preseason game three in Detroit much like NFL teams treat their final preseason game, giving most of their key players the night off while letting those fighting for final roster spots a chance to shine in a real game situation.
Nine of the current 20-player roster will not be available for the Pacers against the Pistons with Myles Turner, Thaddeus Young, Bojan Bogdanovic, Victor Oldadipo, Lance Stephenson and Domas Sabonis sitting out to rest.
