Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Hawks are going to be favored because they’re the healthier team, but they’re not good with Trae Young, and now they won’t have him. While the Pacers injury report is a CVS receipt, they’re still competing. The Pacers took the Thunder, Timberwolves and Mavs down to the wire. I have trust issues with the Hawks, and it’s even more of the case without Young leading the offense. This is a winnable game for the Pacers. I’ll grab the bucket.
