INDIANAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The shorthanded Indiana Pacers host the Boston Celtics at Conseco Fieldhouse on Tuesday.

Indiana will be playing its second game since Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson were suspended by the league for their part in a violent brawl win fans during a contest against the Detroit Pistons Friday.

With three players already on the injured list and both Jonathan Bender and Scot Pollard ailing, the Pacers used just six players in an 86-83 loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

Making just his third start of the season, Fred Jones scored a career-high 31 points while playing all 48 minutes.

Rookie David Harrison had 19 points and eight rebounds and James Jones added 12 and 12 for the Pacers, who only had one regular starter - Austin Croshere - available.

Indiana has posted a 4-1 record in its last five games against Boston, including a 100-94 victory November 5.

Without Artest, however, the Pacers likely will have trouble containing Celtics All-Star Paul Pierce.

Pierce, who is averaging 23 points per game this season, has a history of struggling against Artest and was limited to a season-low 15 points by the reigning Defensive Player of the Year earlier this month.

Boston bounced back from consecutive losses with a 102-83 triumph Sunday over the streaking Seattle SuperSonics, who had won their previous nine games.

Ricky Davis was 10-of-14 from the floor and scored a season-high 25 points as the Celtics shot 57 percent (37-of-65).

Pierce had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Gary Payton and Jiri Welsch each scored 12 for Boston, which had six players score in double figures.
