Scola (rest) is expected to be in the rotation for Saturday's game against Sacramento, Indianapolis Star writer Candace Buckner reports.

Analysis:

With Lavoy Allen (knee) unavailable, the Pacers will likely need Scola to be active, especially with DeMarcus Cousins in town and capable of putting Indiana's bigs in foul trouble. Despite the role awaiting him Saturday, Scola isn't guaranteed much prominence nor effectiveness Saturday.
