Indiana Pacers BettingThe Indiana Pacers are coming into this game on back-to-back losses and they are stuck in the ninth best record in the NBA Eastern Conference standings for quite some time now. This team has to be wary that the surging Washington Wizards are just half a game behind them and could overtake them if a loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder for their next game happens. Malcolm Brogdon has been doing his best to keep the team afloat despite the season-long injuries of their key players. Helping him is Caris LaVert who was a good mid-season pick up for the Pacers.
