Indiana Pacers vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers have played their best ball over the last month, but they still have these weird games here and there, and they've seen 13 of their 21 losses come on the road. The Pacers looked awful against the Trail Blazers, scoring just 89 points. The LA Clippers are as healthy as they've been in a while and they're at home, where 17 of their 28 wins have come. The Clippers should also be eager for a bounce-back effort after not showing up against the Lakers. I'd need more points to seriously consider the Pacers in this spot. I trust the Clippers more at home. The line is reasonable. Give me the Clippers.
