Siakam, Nembhard, and Nesmith are available for the Pacers tonight in Portland. Third stop on a four-game trip.

They’ve dropped 8 in a row since All-Star break.

NEW: Caitlin Clark puts in the work, trusts the work.

But she expects to feel nerves on the basketball court β€” a rarity for her β€” as plays for the first time in 8 months. It's been a long road back.

This one got away in a hurry. After Pacers got to within six points, 2mins into the second half, the Clippers accelerated and opened up a lead of 30+.

It's 102-77 after 3; Kawhi has 29, Siakam with 27.

Pacers center Micah Potter favoring his right ankle, then fouls to sub out of the game. I didn't see any obvious contact. He walked off without assistance.

Jay Huff replaces him in the lineup.

These Pacers offensive possessions have been rough, leave a lot to be desired. Shot opportunities at the rim hard to come by.

Just 33pts in 18mins.

Unusually poor start for the Pacers, down 42-25 after 1. Clippers with twice as many made FGs (18 to 9) and they've yet to turn it over.

Kawhi already has 12pts.
