Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards Prediction 2/12/25 NBA Picks

The Indiana Pacers pay a visit to the Washington Wizards at the Capital One Arena on Wednesday night. Here’s an Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards Prediction. This article will include an Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards Pick.

The Indiana Pacers have been in a rut as they've lost three of their last four games overall, but they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting routed by the Knicks in a 128-115 loss last night. Pascal Siakam led the team with 24 points on nine of 18 shooting, Thomas Bryant and Bennedict Mathurin each scored 18 points while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 16 points and eight assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 48 percent from the field and nine of 31 from the 3-point line, but they had little success slowing down the Knicks from the tipoff and got outscored in every quarter. Andrew Nembhard scored just eight points in 30 minutes of action while TJ McConnell scored just seven points off the bench. 

Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards have gone cold again as they are now looking to avoid a fourth straight defeat after getting beaten by the Spurs in a 131-121 home defeat on Monday. Tristan Vukcevic led the team in scoring with 18 points off the bench, Richaun Holmes added 17 points on eight of nine shooting while Jordan Poole chipped in with 16 points, six rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Wizards shot 48 percent from the field and 14 of 47 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of grit to claw their way back from an early 18-point deficit, only to go cold at the start of the fourth quarter to allow the Spurs off the hook in the end. 

Why the Washington Wizards will win

• The Pacers have lost each of their last four games as road favorites on the second leg of a back-to-back.
• The Wizards have won each of their last three games as home underdogs against the Pacers.
• The Pacers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six road games against Wizards teams that held a losing record.
• The Wizards have covered the spread in seven of their last eight home games against the Pacers.

Why the Indiana Pacers will win

• The Wizards have lost each of their last 10 home games.
• The Pacers have won seven of their last eight road games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Pacers have covered the spread in each of their last five road games against Eastern Conference opponents.
• The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games against Pacers teams that held a winning record.

The Pacers are still shorthanded with Myles Turner ruled out again, while the Wizards are still without the newly acquired Khris Middleton and they have Alex Sarr listed as questionable. The Pacers haven't been at their best over the past four games and they didn't look great in last night's loss to the Knicks, but this is a great opportunity for the Pacers to return to form against a slumping Wizards team. The Pacers are playing on zero days rest, but I still think they get the win and cover in this spot.
