ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Jarrett Jack, Shooting guard Marquis Daniels, Small forward Danny Granger, Power forward Brandon Rush, Center Jeff Foster. Bench -- Forward Stephen Graham, Guard Travis Diener, Center Rasho Nesterovic.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Jarrett Jack, who was filling in for the injured T.J. Ford, scored a season-high 24 points to go with six rebounds, two assists and a steal.
--F Danny Granger had his second game of at least 40 points in the past four contests when he had 41 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and two block shots. He also went 17-of-17 from the foul line.
--F Brandon Rush got the shots, but didn't put many in the basket during his second start of the season. The rookie out of Kansas went 4-of-17 from the field for 10 points. He partly made up for the poor shooting by grabbing 11 rebounds.
--C Jeff Foster was the only starter not to score in double-figures. He did, however, tie for the team high in rebounds with 11.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Mike Dunleavy (knee) is sidelined indefinitely because of tendinitis in his right knee. Dunleavy, the Pacers' second-leading scorer last season, played just 12 minutes in the preseason and has only taken part in one practice since
training camp started in late September.
--G T.J. Ford (groin) missed the game with a sore left groin, which happened in the fourth quarter of Monday's game at Washington. He said he's taking a day-to-day approach on his return.
--F Troy Murphy (stomach virus) was out of the lineup Wednesday.
