Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards Live Stream TV Info

Indiana has played five of its last six games on the road, going just 2-3 in those contests outside the friendly confines of Bankers Life Field house. After hosting Washington on Friday, the Blue & Gold will embark on a difficult four-game Western Conference road trip that includes games against the defending NBA champion Warriors and a Sacramento Kings team that won in Indianapolis in December, plus visits to two cities (Denver and Phoenix) where the Pacers have historically struggled.

Match up:

On the surface, Friday's game against the Washington Wizards (18-19) might seem to be just another mid-January game for the Pacers (22-17). But given where it falls on the schedule, Friday's game against John Wall and the Wizards takes on an added importance.

For that reason, it is nearly imperative that the Pacers take care of business on Friday against an under performing and banged-up Wizards team. Though they return the core of the team that has reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals for two consecutive seasons, Washington has struggled mightily in 2015-16. The Wizards haven't had a winning record since Nov. 25 and currently are tied with the Knicks for 10th place in the East. Washington's injury report for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee listed a whopping seven players as questionable or worse, though four of them were ultimately able to play against the Bucks.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are mostly healthy with the exception of sixth man Rodney Stuckey, who is expected to miss at least two weeks with a sprain and bone bruise in his right foot. Stuckey suffered the injury in the first quarter of Tuesday's win over Phoenix and did not travel with the team for Wednesday's game in Boston.

In Stuckey's absence, Pacers head coach Frank Vogel has been giving his minutes to reserve guard/forwards Chase Budinger and Glenn Robinson III. Unlike Stuckey, neither of those players is capable of running the point, which meant starters George Hill and Monta Ellis handled all of the point guard duties in Wednesday's loss in Boston. Back at home, Vogel might opt to give a few spot minutes at the point to rookie Joe Young to spell his starting backcourt.

The Wizards' strength lies at the point guard position, where All-Star John Wall is having another stellar season. The 6-4 speedster is averaging 19.6 points and is tied for second in the NBA in assists, with 9.6 per contest. Historically a poor outside shooter, Wall is shooting a career-best 35.2 percent from 3-point range, including a .545 clip (12-for-22) over his last five games.

Pacers: Rodney Stuckey - out (right foot sprain and bone bruise), George Hill - questionable (personal reasons)

Wizards: Alan Anderson - out (left ankle surgery), Bradley Beal - probable (sore right leg), Marcin Gortat - out (sore left knee), Kris Humphries - out (sore right knee), Nene - probable (strained right triceps), Gary Neal - probable (flu-like symptoms), Otto Porter - doubtful (sore right hip)


Wizards head coach Randy Wittman is a Hoosier native, Ben Davis High School & Indiana University Graduate and Pacers alumni player (1989-1992). While playing at IU, Randy was teammates with former Pacers coach Isiah Thomas.

November 24, 2015: Paul George and C.J. Miles put on a shooting clinic as the Pacers rolled to a 123-106 victory in Washington. Indiana set a franchise record by making 19 3-pointers in the win, with George and Miles combining to go an absurd 15-for-17 from beyond the arc.

George led all scorers with 40 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. Miles added 32 points, making 8-of-9 attempts from 3-point range.

Gary Neal led Washington with 23 points. Bradley Beal added 20 points and John Wall chipped in 18 points, four rebounds, and five assists.

The Pacers are 60-22 all-time against the Wizards in games played in Indianapolis and lead the all-time series with Washington, 93-72.
Indiana is a perfect 6-0 on the year in games played on a Friday.
Paul George needs 16 assists to reach 1,000 for his career.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors Live Stream and Start info

Cleveland Cavaliers stars LeBron James and Kevin Love run down the court during a 2015 game.

The Toronto Raptors are trying to be a contending team in the Eastern Conference. The team fell short last year in the first round of the playoffs after raised expectations and now they are aiming to turn that around this year. The Raptors return home after a lengthy road trip in what is their fifth game back in Canada as they prepare to face off against a Cleveland Cavaliers team hit hard with injuries.

The Raptors are well aware the Eastern Conference goes through Cleveland they will get their first taste of getting past that on Wednesday night as Kyle Lowry and DeMarre Carroll prepare for the challenge. Currently sitting at 9-6, the Raptors have looked strong this year coming back from a road trip where they went 2-3. The last time these two teams played each, Cleveland had their way with the Raptors. In the past three games with these two teams, Cleveland has averaged 110 points, winning all three while LeBron James averaged 29.3 points and 11.3 assists.  Everyone knows that cannot happen again as head coach Dwane Casey hopes the team does not get ahead of themselves.


"It's a very good litmus test," Casey said, via ESPN.com. "They're playing good basketball right now. It seems like it's another road game where you're in town and then back out of town, but it's what the schedule gives us and we have to come prepared."

The Raptors are dealing with injuries right now. Their backcourt will have some question marks as Jonas Valanciunas fractured his hand during the road trip. That will add pressure to Lowry and DeMar DeRozan to make up in shooting while Luis Scola and Bismack Biyombo handle the frontcourt for the Raptors.

The Cavaliers are dealing with injuries right now to some of their biggest stars. Timofey Mozgov is out with a shoulder injury to pair with the issues to Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert. Mo Williams has also been dealing with leg issues. That has not necessarily hurt the Cavaliers from getting wins this season as both James and Kevin Love continue to thrive on the court. Meanwhile Matthew Dellavedova has been doing a solid job as the starting point guard, getting 25 assists in three games.

UFC 195: Lawler vs Condit Live Stream Fight and TV Info

UFC’s welterweight champion Robbie Lawler will put his title belt on the line when he faces former WEC king Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC 195 on Jan. 2 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.
Fight Info: UFC 195 Lawler vs Condit. Sat, Jan 02, 10PM/7PM ETPT.

UFC will kick off 2016 with a showdown between Condit (30-8 MMA, 7-4 UFC) and Lawler (26-10 MMA, 11-4 UFC). Condit, who is coming off an impressive victory over Thiago Alves in May, shrugged off the injury layoff he suffered in March 2014 that sidelined him for a year.

“Out of 12 or 13 years of competing professionally this was my first major injury, my first major layoff,” Condit told The Sun. “If you’re gonna step in there and fight at a very high level professionally you’re bound to get injuries, you’re bound to get layoffs. It comes with the territory.”

Condit, who is the underdog heading into the UFC 195 main card, is convinced he is in top form to take the welterweight gold from Lawler. However, the “Natural Born Killer” also believes his fight against Lawler could be his last shot to win a title, although he insists he is “100 percent” focused.


Meanwhile, Lawler, who is coming off one of the best fights of all time as he defeated Rory MacDonald at UFC 189 in July, is not stressing about the challenge of defending his title against Condit. While Lawler acknowledges Condit’s skills, “Ruthless” was clear that he is ready to take on any fighter put in front of him.

“You know I don’t worry about who they’re putting in front of me,” Lawler said, reports MMA Junkie. “Why would I worry? Why not? Why this guy? That’s just nonsense for me to waste my energy.”

UFC 195 will also feature a heavyweight clash in the co-main event as Stipe Miocic takes on Andrei Arlovski in a potential title elimination.
