The Indiana Pacers pay a visit to the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center on Wednesday night. Here’s an Indiana Pacers vs Houston Rockets Prediction. This article will include an Indiana Pacers vs Houston Rockets Pick.
Indiana PacersÂ
The Indiana Pacers have been searching for consistency as they’ve lost four of their last six games and they will be hoping for a better effort after getting trounced by the struggling Raptors in a 130-119 road defeat on Monday. Bennedict Mathurin led the team with 28 points, Pascal Siakam added 25 points with 10 rebounds and five assists, Obi Toppin added 19 points off the bench, while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 16 points and five steals. As a team, the Pacers shot 44 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line, but their problems were on the defensive end as they were always playing from behind after allowing 69 points in the first half. Haliburton’s shooting woes continued as shot just five of 18 from the field and two of nine from the 3-point line. The Pacers will take on the Bucks, Wizards, and Pelicans after this one.
Houston RocketsÂ
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have been in great form as they’ve won seven of their last nine games overall, but they will be eager to bounce back in this one after having their five-game win streak halted by the Bucks in a 101-100 road defeat on Monday. Fred VanVleet led the team with 26 points, six rebounds, and five assists, Jalen Green added 21 points with nine rebounds while Alperen Sengun chipped in with 18 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. As a team, the Rockets shot just 40 percent from the field and nine of 32 from the 3-point line as they fought hard to claw their way back from a 14-point deficit and take the lead, only to see it disappear thanks to the Bucks’ Damian Lillard who make the game-winner with just 3.2 seconds left on the clock.

Indiana Pacers vs Houston Rockets Prediction
The Pacers could be severely shorthanded here with Myles Turner, Ben Sheppard, and Johnny Furphy all added to the injury report as questionable, while the Rockets are keeping an eye on Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore who are both questionable. The Pacers are capable of pulling off the upset even if they’re shorthanded, but the Rockets were riding a five-game win streak before they fell to the Bucks by one point on Monday. With that being said, I am sticking with the Rockets to take care of business at home.
