The Denver Nuggets hit the road to face the Indiana Pacers Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. ET.

Pacers second-year wing Johnny Furphy, who has been out since Nov. 3, was upgraded on the injury report for Wednesday's game.

With the Indiana Pacers finally starting to get healthier, they have made a roster move after some disabled player exceptions are expiring.

Seven players missed Wednesday's 113-103 home loss to Brooklyn due to injury, including Coby White (calf), Kevin Huerter (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (back). The Bulls also announced before tipoff that first-round draft pick Noa Essengue would need season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.

The Indiana Pacers have struggled in the first month of the season. They currently have a spot in the NBA draft lottery.

A prominent NBA analyst believes that the Indiana Pacers' tanking scenario is the best scenario for a team since the Spurs got Tim Duncan.

The Indiana Pacers waived guard RayJ Dennis on Sunday, opening up a roster spot for them to add guard/wing Ethan Thompson.
