Now there's no doubt as to who the Indiana Pacers starters will be in Tuesday's season opener.

Coach Isiah Thomas on Friday named Jeff Foster as the starting center for the game against the host New Jersey Nets.

Foster will start alongside forwards Jalen Rose and Jermaine O'Neal and guards Reggie Miller and rookie Jamaal Tinsley.

"With Jalen starting for us at (small forward), we'll have a small team reboundingwise, so Jeff can help us in that area," Thomas said before the Pacers' 122-114 exhibition loss at Minnesota.
