This season the Pacers are 4-6 at home and the Clippers are 7-2 on the road.
In their last games the Clippers beat the Phoenix Suns 121-120 in OT and the Pacers lost to the Atlanta Hawks 108-92.
These 2 teams are heading in different directions, big time, as the Clippers have won 8 straight and the Pacers have lost 5 in a row. No wonder the Clip Joint is the 6.5-point betting favorite even on the road.
Blake Griffin has been on fire in the Clippers’ winning streak and has totaled 75 points in his last 2 games. Also, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford, and J.J. Reddick are all shooting over 41% from beyond the 3-point arc in the streak.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
That is not good for a struggling Pacers defense that does rank a solid 7th in the league, but has allowed 3 of their last 5 opponents to shoot over 50% from the floor.
Griffin has not scored over 20 points in the last 4 games facing the Pacers.
The Pacers are not a high scoring team ranking 28th in the league, but they win with defense. Their leading scorer is David West and while he is only averaging 13.4 ppg Indiana has 6 players that are averaging in double figures.
Roy Hibbert is averaging 12.4 ppg, but he has been struggling as of late only scoring in double figures once in the last 5 games. When he scored at least 16 points the Pacers are 4-2 on the season.
In the Pacers loss to the Hawks only one starter scored in double figures and the team committed 17 turnovers.

The Pacers must play solid perimeter D tonight and not let the Clippers bomb away from deep.

The Clippers did not play a great game in their win over Phoenix, but still got the W.
Facing a struggling Pacers team they will play better and they will not keep their winning streak alive tonight, but they will also cover the spread.
