The Washington Wizards pay a visit to the Indiana Pacers at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday night. Here’s a Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers Prediction. This article will include a Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers Pick.

Washington Wizards 

The Washington Wizards have been in terrible form as they’ve lost 12 of their first 14 games and they will be hoping to snap a 10-game losing streak after getting beaten by the Celtics in a 108-96 loss on Friday. Jordan Poole led the team with 23 points and eight assists, Kyle Kuzma added 21 points while Malcolm Brogdon chipped in with 18 points and 10 rebounds. As a team, the Wizards shot 43 percent from the field and seven of 28 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the superior Celtics in the first half, but they couldn’t maintain that effort and eventually lost by double digits for their 10th straight defeat. 

Indiana Pacers

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in a slump of their own as they’ve lost five of their last six games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a three-game skid after getting trampled by the Bucks in a 129-117 road defeat on Friday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 25 points on nine of 16 shooting, Bennedict Mathurin added 20 points with nine rebounds while Tyrese Haliburton chipped in with 18 points and nine assists. As a team, the Pacers shot 47 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line, but they weren’t switched on defensively to start the game which meant they were always playing from behind after leaking 34 points in the first quarter. The Pacers will meet the Pelicans, Blazers, Pistons, Grizzlies, and Raptors after this game.

Why the Indiana Pacers will win

  • The Wizards have lost each of their last nine games following a loss.
  • The favorites have won each of the last 13 games between the Wizards and Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
  • The Wizards have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six night games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • The home team has covered the spread in eight of the Pacers’ last nine games.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of the Wizards’ last six games as road underdogs following a home loss have gone OVER the total points line.
  • Each of the Pacers’ last six home games against Eastern Conference opponents has gone OVER the total points line.

Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Wizards could be shorthanded again with Jordan Poole listed as questionable, while the Pacers are missing a bunch of players including Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith, and Andrew Nembhard. The Wizards come into this meeting as one of the coldest teams in the league, but the Pacers really haven’t been much better as they’ve been struggling with the growing injury list. You really couldn’t back either side with any confidence these days, so while I think the Pacers get the much-needed win at home, I can’t lay this many points and feel good about it. 

Peter Tran's Pick: Washington +11.5
