Free Washington Wizards vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
Washington comes into this one on the heels of a four-game skid, which is only part of a larger stretch of seven losses in eight outings.
Things aren’t going great for Indiana, either, having lost six of their last nine straight up.
What’s to make of all this? This game could be closer than the spread indicates as teams feel out how to break the cold streak, but the health of each team’s big will be key.
Please keep an eye on the statuses of both Myles Turner and Kristaps Porzingis entering this.
I like Indy at home SU either way. But the status of the bigs will impact a call ATS come tip-off.
