Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Wizards are still missing Corey Kispert, Kyshawn Goerge and Tre Johnson, while the Pacers are missing Obi Toppin, Tyrese Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith and Quenton Jackson. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence these days given their respective records. The Wizards are coming into this one fresh off a big win over the Hawks, but they were absolutely ice-cold before that game.
The Pacers have only been slightly better, but they were a little unlucky not to get the win in their last outing. I can’t imagine the Wizards’ McCollum having another big game with 10 3-pointers, so I will lean towards the Pacers to finally get a much-needed victory after being so close in their last game.
