The current betting odds have the Warriors listed as a 4.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Warriors have looked decent in their games this season with their 36-32 record overall, but that record only has them in a play-in spot for the playoffs in the West right now. They haven't looked great on their home court either with their 18-18 home record, but they have looked a lot better over the last few weeks as they have been surging up the standings and have gotten themselves into a play-in spot. Meanwhile, the Pacers have looked good in their games this season with their 39-31 record overall which has them in a playoff spot in the East right now. They are right on the cusp of dropping into a play-in spot though and they haven't looked great in their road games with their 18-16 road record. They have still been a good road team this year but not a great one and the Warriors are on a mission to keep climbing the standings in the West right now. Neither of these teams has looked great lately as they are both 5-5 in their last 10 games, but this is still a really tough building to play in even though the Warriors haven't performed to their full potential there. The Warriors are going to have some momentum here since they looked a lot better in their win over the Grizzlies in their last one and their home advantage is going to be a key factor in this game too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Warriors to cover the spread in this game.

“Isaiah Jackson should be the poster person for every young player that is developing and supposed to be staying ready. Myles (Turner) was dealing with a little bit of a bug, so we knew Isaiah was going to get some extra minutes at home, and he changed the game when he got in there.” - Rick Carlisle after his team’s win against the Pistons in their game on Wednesday.

“It was a fun game to watch.” - Steve Kerr on Chris Paul after his team’s win against the Grizzlies in their game on Wednesday.
