Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards

The New York Knicks defeated the Indiana Pacers 13 points at home recently. From the first tip, the Pacers were facing a disadvantage. They only drained 29% from downtown and were clobbered on the glass after failing to defend from anywhere.

Before they get a pleasant break, they'll have one more chance to do it right, and I'm predicting the Pacers will vent their frustration on the Washington Wizards.

Although the youthful Washington Wizards have some promising players, their win/loss record is the poorest in the Eastern Conference. Their 12-15-0 ATS record doesn't give them much confidence, and they've lost 10 consecutive at Capital One Arena. I'm supporting the Pacers to cover the spread because of this.

In three of their last four meetings, Indiana has triumphed over Washington. The Wizards have now been thinned out since the trade deadline, but they are 1-1-2 ATS in those games.

With a 1:5 assist-to-turnover ratio, Washington is a turnover generator. When facing a Pacers defense that averages 17.3 fastbreak points and 7.5 steals per game, that kind of inconsistency won't cut it.

The Washington Wizards' game against the Indiana Pacers at Capital One Arena on Wednesday marks the return of NBA activity. In the Eastern Conference, the Pacers (29–23) and Wizards (9–44) are placed fourth and fifteenth, respectively.

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Washington Wizards 131-121 on Monday night, resulting in their third straight loss.

With 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, Tristan Vukcevic helped the squad make 48% of their 93 field goals.

Washington has struggled on both ends of the scoring chart, finishing worst in points against (121.8 PPG) and 27th in points scored (108.2 points per game).

The Indiana Pacers have lost consecutive games. They recently suffered a 128-115 loss to the New York Knicks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Thomas Bryant and Bennedict Mathurin both received 18 points, while Pascal Siakam scored 24 points.

The Washington Wizards' most recent game ended in a 131-121 loss at Capital One Arena. It was their eleventh consecutive home loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Jordan Poole scored 16, Richaun Holmes scored 17, and Tristan Vukcevic scored 18.

In their last two matchups, the Pacers defeated the Wizards 112-104 and 115-103, respectively. Gainbridge Fieldhouse served as the venue for both games. The Pacers have won six of their last ten meetings with these clubs.
