Indiana opened their current three-game road trip last Thursday with an impressive win over the Suns.

Pascal Siakam led the charge with 25 points and 18 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton contributed a double-double with 13 points and 12 assists.

As of Sunday morning, the Pacers were eighth in the Eastern Conference. They ranked 12th in the NBA in adjusted offensive efficiency, averaging 113.7 points per 100 possessions, but struggled defensively, sitting 23rd with an adjusted defensive efficiency of 116.1.

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
