Pacers offense is clicking against this AD-less Lakers defense. It’s 25-18 early, Lakers take a timeout. – 7:29 PM

Really good defense on the perimeter of LeBron by Myles Turner. Down in a stance, hand in his face and didn’t jump into a foul. Well done. – 7:23 PM

LAL have a chance to tie the game at 11 with 2 LeBron FT’s coming out of the first time out, at the 6:54 mark as things get underway in Indiana.
This despite 4 early TO’s (Indy has just 1), with the Pacers hitting only 5 of their 13 FG’s. – 7:19 PM

Another new starting lineup for the Lakers, with Davis out for the first game this season:
Westbrook, Bradley, THT, LeBron, Jordan – 6:40 PM

Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
Lots of uncertainty exists as far as who is a go and who’s out on Thanksgiving eve. It sound like LeBron is in, AD is OUT and Darius Garland is good to go. SGA is OUT for OKC, which makes me giddy about a certain rookie’s assist + rebound prop. From @WagerTalk #NBA Tip-Off Show: pic.twitter.com/mXjFeAZCVl6:37 PM

Starting lineup: LeBron, Russ, THT, DJ, Bradley.
No Anthony Davis, as expected. – 6:32 PM

Anthony Davis (fever) will not play against the Pacers tonight, sources told ESPN. – 6:20 PM

Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers welcome back former head coach Frank Vogel and former video intern + Purdue basketball player Dru Anthrop tonight. Vogel caught up with some Pacers employees for a few minutes after his pregame media availability. pic.twitter.com/FpVHlb3tIk6:10 PM

Talen Horton-Tucker, who is 4-for-27 in his last three games after going 25-for-51 in his first three games back from preseason thumb surgery, is warming up in Indiana tonight without a brace on the thumb. pic.twitter.com/mxA82FvQfX5:49 PM

Davis had yet to miss a game this season, though he did leave the Portland game after 7 minutes (stomach illness).
Vogel said that they will play some zone, and that both centers (DJ, DH) will be needed. LeBron is also capable of “doing all of it” on defense. – 5:39 PM

Scott Agness @ScottAgness
LeBron James will play tonight vs the Pacers. Anthony Davis (illness) is likely out. pic.twitter.com/uZ9QULuUV45:38 PM

Tony East @TEastNBA
LeBron James will play tonight, Frank Vogel says. AD most likely out with his illness, but not official. – 5:34 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron will start tonight, after serving his suspension last night. – 5:34 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Anthony Davis is most likely out tonight at Indiana, said Frank Vogel. His fever returned today. Davis has been in bed all day, and trying to hold out some hope to get to the arena and play, but it seems unlikely. – 5:33 PM

Brad Turner @BA_Turner
LeBron available but AD listed as questionable but most likely out, per Vogel. Fever returned – 5:32 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
LeBron is going to play tonight; Frank Vogel says AD is “most likely out” with his fever returning. – 5:32 PM

Caris LeVert will play tonight, Rick Carlisle says. Expect a minutes restriction for him, though. – 5:30 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoon
Rick Carlisle mentions at the top of his pregame comments that the Pacers have the “unlucky fortune of facing a fresh LeBron James” off of his suspension last night. – 5:26 PM

Imagine telling someone before the start of the season that, in a game they sorta need, the Lakers (w/ LeBron and Russ and likely AD all in the lineup) would be getting 5 points against an 8-11 Pacers team on Thanksgiving Eve … And that you still not confident taking LA! lol pic.twitter.com/ipcITcfQrA4:38 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
After #Lakers loss to Knicks, Shaquille O’Neal said if they “keep playing like this,” thinking they can flip switch, they’ll either be 8th in West and “get blown out” by Golden State or 7th and have same results versus Utah.
So is he saying #Suns won’t finish 1st or 2nd in West? pic.twitter.com/qOsDJ6OgtS4:04 PM

David Locke @DLocke09
According to Dunks and Threes the Lakers have played the 26th ranked strength of schedule and have an adjusted net rating of 25th with the 24th rated offense and the 25th ranked defense – the fact they are 9-10 might be remarkable – 2:34 PM
