Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Regular Season Record: 25-31
The Indiana Pacers have brought back key star Tyrese Haliburton, but things have not worked out as they had hoped for. Indeed, they have lost four of their five games they have played since his return, something the 22-year-old hopes to be able to change in this match considering he has recorded a double-double in points and assists in his previous two meetings with the Wizards.
The team has recorded its third loss in a row as it fell at home last Thursday against the Phoenix Suns by a score of 117-104. In that game, the Indiana team found itself always being dominated, despite having rookie Bennedict Mathurin as the top scorer with 22 points. Haliburton only scored 18 points.
Now, getting back on the road won’t help the Pacers’ goals, as they have struggled the most playing away from home. They have a 8-19 record, averaging 111.9 points scored and 118.5 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Washington Wizards
- Regular Season Record: 25-29
The Washington Wizards are a team that has potential, but their constant ups and downs continue to prevent them from progressing further. They arrive to this game on the edge of the play-in zone and just 0.5 games ahead of their closest rival, the Toronto Raptors.
The capital team will face this game after having two days off. Indeed, their most recent game was against the Charlotte Hornets last Wednesday, where they were able to take advantage of the opportunities that arose and won 104-118. Kristaps Porzingis was the team’s leading scorer with 36 points, while Bradley Beal and Delon Wright recorded 10 assists each.
With Kyle Kuzma out of action due to an injury, the Wizards will need a lot more from Beal and Porzingis if they want to attain a positive result in this game. They average 22.5 and 22.7 points per game, respectively.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pacers have had very good moments during this campaign, however, they are currently not going through one of them. Also, playing away from home gives them very little hope of being able to recover, much less against the Wizards who come with a high morale after a very good win.
Although the Wizards are not the best on offense, and that Kuzma absence is a big deal for them, this time the team will have a great opportunity to redeem themselves as they will be facing a defense that usually suffers a lot on the road.
Porzingis and Beal are playing at a very good level, unlike a Haliburton that has struggled to get into rhythm, so we expect the Wizards to dominate things and take the victory comfortably.
Prediction: Washington Wizards Spread.
