Los Angeles Lakers will face off with the Indiana Pacers in the National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 7 March.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 103rd regular-season meeting between the two teams since the 1976/77 season, which was the Pacers' debut NBA campaign.
The Lakers have dominated this rivalry, winning around 67 games compared to the Pacers' 35 victories in their all-time regular-season encounters (102).
Most recent meeting
The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers 120-119 on 26 March 2025, in a dramatic comeback victory at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The win was sealed by LeBron James' buzzer-beating tip-in after Luka Dončić's 34-point performance.
Key Players
Luka Dončić has been outstanding for the Lakers due to his ability to control pace, read defences like few others, and dominate as a triple-double threat, averaging 32.5 PPG, 8.6 APG, and 7.7 RPG in 2025-26.
For the Pacers, Jarace Walker could step up as the primary frontcourt option with Pascal Siakam sidelined by his left wrist sprain, leveraging his versatile skill set as a 6'7" forward who averages 11.0 PPG, 4.9 RPG, and 2.3 APG this season.
Quotes
“Obviously, it was two great wins,” Lakers' Luka Doncic said about the Lakers' recent wins over the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings.
“But we just got to go game by game. Obviously there’s a lot of noise outside, but like (Sunday night), we can’t pay attention to that. We got to go game by game.”
