The Nets (13-23) have dropped five of their past six and 10 of 13. They have the seventh-worst record in the NBA, a half-game better than the Trail Blazers.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 23 points, Bennedict Mathurin added 20 and the Indiana Pacers beat the Nets 113-99 on Monday night.

Heading into the Brooklyn Nets' 113-99 loss to the Indiana Pacers, the lack of Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas, Ben Simmons and D'Angelo Russell might lead one to assume the hosts' offense would struggle early.
