The Pacers are coming into this game with a 25-55 record overall and they are 9-30 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on an 8 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Portland Trail Blazers while their 8 losses since then have come against the Sacramento Kings, the Memphis Grizzlies, the Toronto Raptors, the Atlanta Hawks, the Denver Nuggets, the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Pistons, and the Philadelphia 76ers in their last game. They still have a game against the 76ers on Saturday night that needs to be played first so this will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back for them on Sunday night. In their first game of this back-to-back against the 76ers, Buddy Hield led the team in points in that game with 25 while Tyrese Haliburton was next on the team with 21 points. Buddy Hield, Tyrese Haliburton, and T. J. McConnell all led the team in assists in that game with 5 each while Buddy Hield led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 47.9% from the field, 30% from 3-point range, and 95.2% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 111.2 PPG and their defense is averaging their opponents to average 114.5 PPG against them. The Pacers have an ATS record of 36-42-2 this season and their O/U record is 45-34-1.

 

 

The Nets are coming into this game with a 43-38 record overall and they are 24-17 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak. Their last loss was against the Atlanta Hawks while their 3 wins since then have come against the Houston Rockets, the New York Knicks, and the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last game. Kevin Durant led the team in points in that game with 36 while Bruce Brown Jr. and Kyrie Irving were both next on the team with 18 points each. Brown Jr. and Irving both led the team in assists in that game with 8 each while Andre Drummond led the team in rebounds with 12. They were 46.7% from the field, 37.5% from 3-point range, and 95.2% from the free throw line with their shots in that game.

The Nets have an ATS record of 32-47-2 this season and their O/U record is 39-41-1.

 

 

The Pacers are coming into this game off of 8 straight losses but they have been keeping their games a lot closer recently. They have lost their last 5 games within single digits and they will likely do it again here as the Nets have not been great recently. They are going up against a Nets team that has won 3 straight games and is still trying to avoid slipping down into the 9th or 10th spot in the standings. They have not been great at home this season though and even in the home games that Kyrie has been allowed to play in, they have still not performed well losing 2 of their last 4 games there and their wins usually coming by only single digits. They have also been trailing in a lot of their games before coming back in the 2nd half but with the injuries they have had this season, they are better off resting some of their players and just making sure they get to a playoff series. The Pacers will give them a good fight here and will likely lose the game but only by single digits.
