Indiana Pacers vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Golden State Warriors are going to be favored because they’re at home with the rest advantage, but this line is a bit steep. The Warriors may be coming off a big win over the Timberwolves, but they’ve still lost 7 of their last 10 games. The Indiana Pacers are coming off four straight wins, three of which came on the road, and the offense is starting to roll. The Pacers still have issues defending, but it doesn’t matter when they can drop 120-plus points with their eyes closed. I’ll take my chances with the Pacers and the points, which I’ve done a lot over the last week.
