Jackson won't start against the Nets on Wednesday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Jackson got the starting nod in Tuesday's overtime win over New York but will slide to the second unit Wednesday. Over eight appearances off the bench since the beginning of January, the two-way player has averaged 8.8 points in 11.9 minutes per contest. However, Indiana will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, so he'll likely see a sizable workload.

Huff is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Huff will supplant Micah Potter in the first unit for Wednesday's contest. Huff is averaging 10.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 blocks in 22.3 minutes across 30 starts this season.

Eason (leg) will play Wednesday against the Clippers.

Wednesday's game will mark the first time this season that Eason will have appeared in both matches of a back-to-back set, which is an encouraging sign moving forward. Eason was limited to just six points on 2-for-10 shooting his last time out, so he'll be looking to bounce back in Wednesday's rematch with the Clippers.

Brown will start against the Nets on Wednesday, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

With the Pacers shorthanded in the second half of this back-to-back set, Brown will get the starting nod in just his second game with the team. He posted eight points, six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Tuesday's overtime win over New York.

Walker is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Walker is returning from a one-game absence to play in Wednesday's game for the injury-plagued Pacers. In 18 starts this season, Walker is averaging 13.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals across 29.0 minutes.

Jones will start Wednesday's game against the Nets, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

The Pacers will be extremely shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Jones to draw his second start of the season. The rookie second-rounder has logged double-digit minutes in four straight appearances (one start), averaging 5.8 points, 2.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

Sheppard will start Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Indiana is without several key players Wednesday, opening up a spot for Sheppard in the starting five. The third-year guard is averaging 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.7 minutes per game as a starter this season.

Wolf will come off the bench for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

While Wolf won't start, it's worth noting that Michael Porter (knee), Noah Clowney (ankle) and Nic Claxton (hip) are out, so Wolf still has the potential to play meaningful minutes while working in a reserve role Wednesday evening. Wolf has logged at least 20 minutes in each of his previous three outings and has recorded double-digit points in all of them.

Williams is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Indiana, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Williams will make his fifth start of the season and his first since Jan. 7. He'll be joined by Nolan Traore, Egor Demin, Terance Mann and Day'Ron Sharpe in the first unit for the shorthanded Nets.

Sharpe will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

With Nic Claxton (hip) out, Sharpe will get the starting nod in Brooklyn's final game before the All-Star break. As a starter this season (three games), the big man has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 combined steals-plus-blocks across 30.7 minutes per game.
