Indiana Pacers Betting Preview

The Indiana Pacers have been in pretty good form as they've won six of their last eight games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after routing the Rockets in a 115-102 home win on Tuesday. Tyrese Haliburton led the team with 28 points and 15 assists on nine of 16 shooting, Pascal Siakam added 18 points while Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner scored 16 points each. As a team, the Pacers shot 51 percent from the field and 17 of 42 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 67 points in the first half to lead by 17 points. But the Rockets were starting to come back before the Pacers played great defense in the fourth quarter to win comfortably at home. 

Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a real funk as they've lost six of their last eight games overall and they will be hoping to bounce back after getting beaten by the Bucks in a 127-121 home defeat on Tuesday. Trae Young led the team with 28 points and 13 assists, Caris LeVert added 21 points off the bench while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 16 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they traded shots with the Bucks in a game that remained close all the way until the fourth quarter. The Hawks allowed 35 points as they had no answer for the Bucks' Kevin Porter Jr who scored 15 points in just 12 minutes off the bench. The Hawks will take on the 76ers after this b2b set with the Pacers.

Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Pacers are still keeping an eye on Bennedict Mathurin and Tyrese Haliburton, who are both questionable. The Hawks are still missing Jalen Johnson and Larry Nance Jr. This is definitely a game where you should check the lineups before tipoff given the injury clouding hovering over the Pacers. With that being said, the Pacers have been the better team this season, and they have enough depth to cover for the possible absence of Haliburton for one game. The line is short enough, so I will stick with the Pacers to get the win and cover on the road.
