The Pacers are coming into this game with a 25-31 record overall and they are 8-19 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They still have a game against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night that needs to be played first as this is the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Saturday. They are entering this game on a 2 game losing streak with losses coming against the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat in their last game. Buddy Hield led the team in points in that game with 29 while Myles Turner was next on the team with 21 points. Tyrese Haliburton led the team in assists in that game with 10 while Myles Turner led the team in rebounds with 10. They were 48.7% from the field, 45.5% from 3-point range, and 71.4% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 114.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 116.9 PPG against them. The Pacers have an ATS record of 30-26 this season and their O/U record is 26-29-1.

The Wizards are coming into this game with a 25-29 record overall and they are 13-12 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off of a win against the Charlotte Hornets in their last game. Kristaps Porziņģis led the team in points in that game with 36 while Deni Avdija was next on the team with 20 points. Bradley Beal and Delon Wright each led the team in assists in that game with 10 while Deni Avdija led the team in rebounds with 13. They were 50.6% from the field, 40.5% from 3-point range, and 88.2% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 112.9 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 113.3 PPG against them. The Wizards have an ATS record of 25-26-3 this season and their O/U record is 25-27-2.

The current betting odds have the Wizards listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Wizards haven't been great this year as they have a losing record at 25-29 overall but a lot of their struggles have come from injuries to some of their key players. They are still 13-12 in their home games this season and they will have some momentum again after a win in their last game. They have been a lot better since getting Beal back in their starting lineup but the Pacers have also been terrible in their games lately. The Pacers were above .500 in a playoff spot in the East just over a month ago but now they are 25-31 overall with an 8-19 road record as they have been terrible in those games. They are also on a back-to-back here and they are going to be tired so this is a great spot for the Wizards to keep rolling as they have been finding a lot of success lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Wizards to cover the spread in this game.
