My Pacers vs Warriors AI Prediction
The Warriors rebounded in impressive fashion after a humiliating loss to the Grizzlies, securing a solid road win against the Timberwolves. That victory wasn’t an easy feat, and it showcased an improved defensive effort following a pair of lackluster performances. Golden State will look to carry that momentum forward.
The Pacers, meanwhile, find themselves in a challenging position, playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Their defense has been a glaring weakness all season, and even without Draymond Green, the Warriors hold a rebounding edge over Indiana. Considering these factors, Golden State is well-positioned to capitalize and secure another win.
Selection: Warriors -5.5
