The Indiana Pacers take on the Phoenix Suns in an NBA seeding game in Orlando on Thursday afternoon.

The Pacers (42-26) haven't let key absences interfere with their quest to improve playoff positioning, as they've won each of their first three games in the bubble. Indiana's most recent win came on the strength of another stellar performance by T.J. Warren, as they knocked off the Orlando Magic by a 120-109 score on Tuesday evening. Warren led the Pacers with 32 points that he complemented with three assists, two rebounds, three steals and one block. Myles Turner finished with 21 points, six boards, two assists, one steal and one block. Victor Oladipo compiled 13 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals. Malcolm Brogdon and Aaron Holiday generated matching 12-point, four-rebound efforts, with Brogdon adding eight assists. T.J. McConnell also poured in 12 points and supplemented them with five assists, four rebounds and one steal.

The Pacers will list Brogdon (neck) and Goga Bitadze (knee) as questionable for Thursday's game, Domantas Sabonis (foot) remains away from the Orlando bubble.

The Suns (29-39) have duplicated the Pacers' feat in their first three seeding contests, as they've now prevailed over the Wizards, Mavericks and Clippers, the latter two contests by just a single basket. Phoenix's 117-115 win over Los Angeles came during their most recent time on the court Tuesday, with Devin Booker's turnaround jumper at the buzzer sealing the victory. Booker compiled a team-high 35 points overall and added eight assists and four rebounds. Deandre Ayton followed with 19 points, seven boards and four assists. Ricky Rubio supplied 18 points, four assists and three rebounds. Dario Saric compiled 13 points, eight boards and one assist, while Cameron Payne finished with 12 points.

The Suns will list Kelly Oubre (knee) as doubtful for Thursday's contest. Jalen Lecque (coach's decision) is likely to be questionable at best, while Aron Baynes (knee) will remain out.

Thursday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Pacers hold a 1-0 series lead, having notched a 112-87 win on Jan. 22.
