The New Orleans Pelicans invade the Gainbridge Fieldhouse to battle the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Here’s a New Orleans Pelicans vs Indiana Pacers Prediction. This article will include a New Orleans Pelicans vs Indiana Pacers Pick.
New Orleans PelicansÂ
The New Orleans Pelicans have been in a real slump as they’ve lost 13 of their last 15 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a four-game skid after falling short to the Warriors in a 112-108 loss on Friday. Trey Murphy led the team with 24 points and four assists on nine of 17 shooting, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl added 19 points with 12 rebounds while Brandon Ingram chipped in with 18 points, seven assists, and two blocks. As a team, the Pelicans shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 39 from the 3-point line as they came out with a real sense of fearlessness and really took it to the Warriors. However, despite their best efforts, the shorthanded Pelicans just don’t get over the line despite keeping the game within single digits for almost the entire game.Â
Indiana PacersÂ
Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been struggling as they’ve lost five of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to build some momentum after snapping a three-game skid with a 115-103 road win over the Wizards last night. Pascal Siakam led the team with 22 points and six assists, Tyrese Haliburton added 21 points with nine assists, Bennedict Mathurin scored 16 points, while Moses Brown chipped in with 15 points off the bench. As a team, the Pacers shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 27 from the 3-point line, but this win was all about their defense, particularly in the second half where they restricted the Wizards to just 44 points to win comfortably in front of their home fans. The Pacers will take on the Trail Blazers after this game.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Pelicans are still missing a host of players including Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, and Dejounte Murray, while the Pacers are still missing Andrew Nembhard, Isaiah Jackson, and Ben Sheppard. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence these days, but surely this is a game that the Pacers should win. Yes, the Pacers have been well below their best all season and Haliburton has yet to fire his team like he did last season, but the Pelicans are missing almost all their best players so surely the Pacers can take advantage and get the cover at home.
