Indiana Pacers
Although they are on the road and potentially without the services of Tyrese Haliburton the Pacers should be riding a high. That’s because Indiana completed a trade to acquire Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors giving them a bonafide number two option.
Siakam still has to complete his physical so won’t be available to play in this match but moving forward he will be a great compliment to Halliburton and should excel in the Pacers’ up-tempo offense while also providing a skilled playmaker as well as someone who can create his own shot.

Pacers Stats
Indiana possesses the top-ranked offense (122.0) and while their defense ranks 26th (119.3) they are making more of an effort on that end of the court. Their net differential of plus +2.8 registers 10th overall.
The Pacers began the season strong and are still a decent bet against the spread with a 23-17-1 record through 41 matches.
Pacers Injury Report

- Tyrese Haliburton, PG (upgraded to questionable—hamstring)
- Obi Toppin, SF (questionable — calf)
- Aaron Nesmith, SG (questionable — shin)
- Bennedict Mathurin, SF (questionable — ankle)
Sacramento Kings
It’s been a tough stretch for the Kings in the last few matches as they lost three in a row including an overtime loss to the Bucks and the most recent loss to the Suns in a game they led by as much as 22 points.
It’s only the second time this season they’ve lost three games in a row going back to the fourth, fifth, and sixth games of the season. The most concerning part of this equation is how they’re losing and how the team is shifting.
Last season Sacramento feasted offensively but their defense was MIA and while they’ve made a few strides on the latter it’s come seemingly at a cost offensively.
Kings Stats
To this point in the season, the Kings rank 14th offensively (116.4), and 17th defensively (115.9), with a net differential of plus +0.5 also ranking 17th overall.
Sacramento rides the middle ground against the spread with a 22-18 performance through 40 games.

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Sacramento Kings NBA Prediction:
Indiana will be extremely shorthanded as they sent two players to Toronto (Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora) while they’re also dealing with several players who are questionable to suit up. Notably, Haliburton who was expected to miss several weeks was upgraded to questionable.
Still, I’d expect the Kings to come out with energy and focus on ending the losing streak, however, if Tyrese is back (which I’m banking on) I’d take the points.
