Both teams are rusty and playing in an unfamiliar surrounding and time zone as this game is in London. It's the first game in five days for the Pacers and Nuggets. Normally a team welcomes a couple of days rest this much into the season, but five days is way too much.
The Nuggets are capable of much better defense and their coach, Mike Malone, knows it. The Nuggets' best offensive player, Danilo Gallinari, is dealing with a sore ankle and several Denver players are battling illness, including Nikola Jokic, Kenneth Faried and Wilson Chandler. They should be able to play, but their effectiveness could be greatly reduced.
