San Antonio Spurs vs. Indiana Pacers Preseason Matchup Starting Predictions and Depth Charts

THE San Antonio Spurs will face the Indiana Pacers in one of four NBA preseason games scheduled for Monday. This will be the first of two Spurs-Pacers games scheduled to close out the preseason.

The Indiana Pacers are coming off a fantastic run in the 2024-25 season, reaching Game 7 of the NBA Finals after finishing the regular season as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Spurs, meanwhile, missed the playoffs, finishing 10th in the West. The team’s campaign in the 2024-25 season was derailed after De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama suffered season-ending injuries following the All-Star break.

But their young core of Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell and Wembanyama appears to have taken another step in the right direction this offseason. Additionally, the team also signed Dylan Harper with the second pick in the 2025 draft.

With De’Aaron Fox set to miss the start of the regular season and Jordan McLaughlin dealing with injuries, Harper could see significant minutes early.

The Indiana Pacers also won their first two preseason games, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves and OKC Thunder. With star guard Tyrese Haliburton set to miss the entire 2025-26 season, it will fall to Andrew Nembhard to facilitate the team.

Pascal Siakam should also take on a greater offensive load to compensate for Haliburton’s absence. Although it’s unlikely Indiana will be able to replicate last season’s success without its best player.
