The San Antonio Spurs have been in decent form as they've split their first six games, but they will be hoping to bounce back here after getting beaten by the Raptors in a 123-116 overtime loss last night. Keldon Johnson led the way with 26 points on 11 of 18 shooting, Zach Collins added 21 points with 11 rebounds and five assists while Victor Wembanyama tallied 20 points with nine rebounds, four assists and five blocks. As a team, the Spurs shot 49 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line as they dominated the second quarter by 28-13 to build a 22-point lead, only to come up short in overtime where they scored just six points to allow the Raptors to slip away in the end.

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have lost three of their last four games overall and they will be looking to bounce back after coming up painfully short to the Hornets in a 125-124 loss on Saturday.

As a team, the Pacers shot 48 percent from the field and a sizzling 22 of 45 from the 3-point line as they exploded for 50 points in the third quarter to erase a 13-point deficit and take the lead, only to fall short after Hield missed the game-tying free throw with 29.1 seconds left on the clock.

Peter's Pick
The Spurs are still missing Devin Vassell, while the Pacers have ruled out Jarace Walker. The Spurs have been one of the surprise teams of the league so far as Wembanyama has really lived up to the hype so far, but the Spurs are playing their second game of a back to back set after losing an overtime game, so I'm leaning towards the Pacers to take advantage and get a much-needed win and cover here.
