Pacers vs Warriors prediction

The Indiana Pacers are always attractive in the underdog role because of their ability to score, and they've covered 4 of their last 6 games. However, the Golden State Warriors are as healthy as they've been in quite some time, and they need to take advantage of home games as they fight for positioning in the play-in tournament. The Warriors don't have a single player on their injury list for this game. This is a veteran Warriors team that knows now is the time to make that push with the playoffs around the corner. I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Warriors at home.
