The Nets will try to build on their Wednesday win, traveling to Indiana to take on the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse Friday night. The Pacers are 3-1, having beat the Heat on Wednesday. They are missing Jeff Foster and Scott Pollard, but have one of the NBA's toughest tandems in Ron Artest and Jermaine O'Neal. O'Neal is averaging 21.5 ppg, 8.3 rpg and 1.5 bpg. The Pacers hope to contain Vince Carter and a surging Richard Jefferson. The Nets hope their bench is ready.
