Indiana Pacers Performance Recap and Analysis
The Pacers will have their work cut out for them with Tyrese Haliburton out of the lineup, as TJ McConnell could also miss this game due to an illness.
In their absence against the Portland Trail Blazers last night, Andrew Nembhard was tasked with picking up the slack, as he put up 16 points and eight assists.
Myles Turner led the way with 24 points and nine rebounds. Buddy Hield added 22 points and 11 rebounds.
Halliburton is a huge loss for the Pacers on both ends of the floor, as he is their primary shot-creator who can get a bucket on his own at any given moment and defend opposing guards at a high level.
His NBA player stats will be missing, which will for sure have an impact on the Pacers vs Warriors prediction.
Key Injuries
Tyrese Haliburton (groin) is out.
Betting Trends to Know
Indiana is 13-10 against the spread this season. They are 11-11-1 when it comes to over/under.
Golden State Warriors Performance Recap and Analysis

Andrew Wiggins led the way with 36 points on 14-of-19 shooting in the Warriors’ most recent win against the Houston Rockets.
Stephen Curry added 30 points and ten assists. Jordan Poole added 21 points and five assists.

Jordan Poole (ankle) and Andrew Wiggins (adductor) are questionable.
Betting Trends to Know
