Probable starters

Toronto: Jose Calderon, DeMar DeRozan, Rasual Butler, Andrea Bargnani, Amir Johnson
Key matchup
George vs. DeRozan
Raptors guard has been struggling mightily lately and it won't be easy finding his game against the emerging Pacers star.
Need to know
Availability of Bargnani unknown after he left Wednesday's loss to the Kings with a strained calf; no hint on who will replace him in the starting lineup, might be Ed Davis or Dwane Casey could to go Linas Kleiza to defend West.... Pacers are 7-3 and come in off a win over Atlanta on Wednesday.... Rematch of Toronto's home opener, which Indiana won 90-85 thanks to some late-game Raptor defensive breakdowns.... There was a suggestion injured guard Jerryd Bayless (ankle) might return but when asked Wednesday, the answer was “I don't know.â€
Next up
