Monday offers up the second and final meeting between the Indiana Pacers and LA Clippers this season. LA won the initial contest 151-127.
Both teams are completing back-to-back sets with the Pacers losing a 145-150 shootout versus the Lakers while the Clippers got spanked 107-121 to the depleted 76ers.
Season Series
Indy holds the all-time edge over the Clippers with 58 wins in 97 matches. Last season the teams split their two contests.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Sunday, March 24th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Monday, March 25th.
Indiana Pacers
Since returning from the break the Pacers are 9-7. The oddity in their performance is they’ve pulled out impressive wins against teams in the upper echelon but lost games to teams they should’ve beaten.
Case in point, they lost to two teams outside the play-in (Raptors, Spurs) and got to face both the Cavaliers and Bulls who are saddled with injuries.
I’ve pondered this dilemma and wonder if it’s tied to a loss of focus or perhaps Tyrese Haliburton not being 100 percent and it’s impacting the team’s main strength (his ball distribution and game management).
Then again, when your team scores 145 points in regulation (46 in the final frame on the road) it’s a safe bet if Indy played even a modicum of defense they’d win a lot more matches.
Pacers Stats
Indiana possesses the second-ranked offense (119.8) and is 25th (117.6) on defense while their net differential of plus +2.1 registers 13th overall.
The Pacers began the season strong and are still a decent bet against the spread with a 38-31-3 record through 72 matches.
Pacers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- James Johnson, SF (questionable — personal)
- Bennedict Mathurin, SF (OUT for season — shoulder)
LA Clippers
Perhaps the Clippers looked at the standings (they trail Denver by 5.5 games now) and decided to take their foot off the gas with the trio above them embroiled in a battle for first.
What they probably didn’t count on was the charging Pelicans who are now just a half-game back of them.
Without Russell Westbrook LA is 6-6 (8-9 since the break) and while he’s not considered as imperative as Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, or James Harden the Clippers are definitely missing his energy and grittiness.
So the fact he was upgraded to questionable for Monday is welcome news.
Clippers Stats
LA has climbed offensively now ranking fourth (118.9), and 14th defensively (115.0) while their net differential is plus +3.8 which ranks tied for seventh in the association.
Through 63 contests the Clippers are starting to improve against the spread with a 34-35 record.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Russell Westbrook, PG (upgraded to probable — hand)
- PJ Tucker, PF (questionable —calf)

Free Indiana Pacers vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
Although both clubs played on Sunday, the Clippers game was a matinee (3:30) whereas the Pacers tipped off at 10:00.
The Clippers also didn’t have to tax their starters with extra minutes since Ty Lue sent up the white flag early given the rout while the Pacers made their big comeback in the final frame.
Both teams NEED to win this match as they hold a precarious half-game lead over the team(s) chasing them. Indy is clinging to the sixth seed (ahead of Miami/Philly) while the Clippers are trying to keep the Pelicans at bay.
I’d be inclined to lean toward Indy, but with them having to use up so much energy to erase the lead versus the Lakers, and the Clippers finishing early evening (and probably getting Westbrook back) I’ll take LA but in a closely contested battle.
