*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Friday evening, January 20th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Saturday, January 21st.
Indiana Pacers
The Cinderella season has hit a wall with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined and the Pacers suffering from his absence.
The point guard sprained his elbow and knee versus the Knicks forcing him out early and Indy lost that match and the subsequent four games to extend the losing streak to five in a row.
For as exciting as the Pacers have been this season, this recent adversity is reminding of how precariously close they are to taking another step up the ladder or regressing back into the lottery.
Stats
Until now, the Pacers averaged 115.2 points per game ranking 12th while shooting 45.9% from the field and 36.3% from the perimeter which ranks 23rd and 14th respectively.
Also, defensively, Indy allows 116.9 points which ranks 24th while these opponents shoot 47.2% from the field and 37.4% from the perimeter ranking 13th and 29th.
The updated injury report hasn’t been submitted yet, but the assumption is the list won’t change from Friday. To summarize, Tyrese Haliburton (elbow/knee sprains), Kendall Brown (tibia fracture), and Daniel Theis (knee) are out indefinitely.
Phoenix Suns
While the Suns are missing their best player Devin Booker, the absence of Cameron Johnson was equally detrimental because he offers floor spacing, quality perimeter shooting, and another defender.
Johnson played only 22 minutes as they ease him back into the mix, but he filled up the stat sheet with 19 points, six rebounds, two assists, a steal, and two blocks. He shot 4 of 10 from the field, 2 of 6 from deep, and got to the line nine times where he was perfect.
Unfortunately, the Suns will rest him Saturday as they bring him back slowly.
Stats
Phoenix averages 112.7 points per game dropping to 20th (they ranked top 10 the majority of the season). They are shooting 46.4% from the field and 38.4% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and third overall.
Defensively opponents score 112.2 points ranking ninth. Meanwhile, they limit opponent shooting to 47.5% from the field and 36.4% from the perimeter ranking 20th and 22nd respectively.
Chris Paul (hip), and Josh Okogie (fractured nose) are questionable for Saturday. Cameron Johnson (injury management rest), Landry Shamet (foot), Cameron Payne (foot), Devin Booker (groin), and Jae Crowder (trade request) are out indefinitely.

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Indy is reeling without Haliburton and desperate for a victory after six consecutive losses. Meanwhile, the Suns just ended their own losing streak and are equally motivated to get back on track.
CP3 has been listed as questionable for a few games in a row so his return could be what pushes Phoenix over the top, but… I still like the Pacers to keep this close so take the points.
