Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Warriors are still shorthanded with Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, and Andrew Wiggins all out, while the Pacers are keeping an eye on Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner who are both questionable. This is definitely a game where you want to check the lineups before tipoff. At this time of writing, I am looking at the Pacers, who should be good enough to take down this banged-up Warriors team playing their second game of a back-to-back set.
