Wednesday, March 30th finds the Denver Nuggets playing the Indiana Pacers for the second and final time this season. Denver won the initial meeting 101-98 on November 10th.
Both teams last played Monday with the Nuggets beating the Hornets 113-109 while the Pacers lost 123-132 versus the Hawks.
Last season, the teams played twice with Denver taking both contests. The Nuggets hold the all-time record having bested the Pacers in 49 of their 95 matches
Denver Nuggets
Although Nikola Jokic hasn’t had his main offensive weapons this season it would be shortsighted to ignore the performance of Aaron Gordon this season.
He’s offering quality two-way contributions and is one of the main reasons the Nuggets continue to be a viable Western threat that could be a problem in the postseason.
On Tuesday, Gordon was more productive on the offensive end of the floor scoring 21 points adding seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block.
Jokic offered his 19th triple-double including 26 points, 19 rebounds, and 11 assists. All five starters scored in double-figures including Will Barton (18), Monte Morris (14), and Jeff Green (14).
The Nuggets enter this game sitting in the sixth seed but with an identical record as the Jazz and the potential to move up to fifth. They have six games remaining with two on the road including this match in Indy and one in LA versus the Lakers.
The other four matches feature the Timberwolves, Spurs, Grizzlies and they’ll close the season at home versus the Lakers.
JaMychal Green (wrist) is questionable while Zeke Nnaji (hamstring) was downgraded to out for Wednesday. Vlatko Cancar (fractured foot), Jamal Murry (ACL), and Michael Porter Jr. (back surgery) are out indefinitely.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers have mathematically been eliminated from the postseason so will focus on losing as many of their remaining six matches to improve their draft lottery position.
That shouldn’t be too difficult given the opponent slate they have to face that includes the Nuggets, Celtics, Pistons, Nets and two games versus the 76ers. Other than the Pistons all those teams will be trying to win to improve their seed.
In the match on Monday, six Pacers reached double-digit scoring with Tyrese Haliburton leading the way with a double-double of 25 points and 13 assists.
Buddy Hield led scoring with 26 points including hitting five of his seven 3-pointers. He was joined by Keifer Sykes (16), Goga Bitadze (14), Lance Stephenson (13), and Terry Taylor (11).
Malcolm Brogdon (conditioning), Goga Bitadze (foot), Isaiah Jackson (head), and Duane Washington Jr. (hip) are all questionable. Chris Duarte (toe) was downgraded to out on Wednesday.
Myles Turner (foot), T.J. McConnell (wrist), and TJ Warren (foot) are all out indefinitely. Ricky Rubio (ACL) is lost for the season.

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction
Although anything can happen on a given night this match should be an easy win for the Nuggets as they face the lottery-bound Pacers. The 9.5 point spread is a bit rich but with so many members of the Pacers court out it shouldn’t be a stretch.
