Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers preview
The Warriors will play the second leg of a back-to-back after recording a 107-104 win against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday. It was a mixed team effort as no player scored more than 19 points. Buddy Hield led the team in scoring with 19, while Steph Curry had 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.
Golden State’s season has been hit hard with inconsistency. It started off as one of the best teams in the West and was ranked toward the top of the standings. Now, it barely holds on to a play-in tourney spot. Injuries to key players such as Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski haven’t helped either.
Indiana is on a four-game win streak and has won seven of its past 10 games. It is also 10-6 at home, which bodes well for Friday’s game. The Pacers last played the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday and won 129-113. Pascal Siakam had 26 points, while Thomas Bryant had 22.
Tyrese Haliburton had a double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds. Obi Toppin and Jarace Walker contributed 12 points each off of the bench as well.
Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers betting props
Buddy Hield’s points total is set at 19.5. Hield had a hot start to the season before cooling off. He had a decent game on Thursday but don’t expect the same level of production against his former team. Bet on the under.
Pascal Siakam’s points total is set at 19.5, which is under his season average of 19.8 points. Bet on the over.
Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers prediction
The Pacers are favored to get the win at home against the injury-laden and inconsistent Warriors. While we expect the same, Indiana might not cover the spread. This should be a relatively high-scoring game with the team total going past 223.5 points.
