The Kings are coming into this game not playing very well in their recent games as they have lost their last 3 straight and they have lost 7 of their last 8. The Kings have a few of their key players in the injury report and even though they may play in this game, they are not at full strength and that might be what the Pacers need here to win this game. The Pacers have not been playing awful in their recent games and they are even coming off of 2 straight wins into this game. The Pacers have not really been beating any good teams recently but the Kings are not a good team so they have a good chance of pulling off the win here at home. This is a big revenge game for Tyrese Haliburton as well as he felt betrayed by the Kings when they traded him to the Pacers earlier this season. He was ready to buy into a future with the Kings but they did not want him and he is surely going to try to prove to them that they made the wrong decision trading him away. The Pacers are going to continue on their little streak here and get another win at home by just a few points here.
