The Indiana Pacers are still battling injuries and dealing with sloppy results, which includes losing their last five games by an average of 8.4 points. The Atlanta Hawks are playing their best ball of the season right now with a more consistent offense, and they’re capable of blowing teams out when things are clicking. Thick line, but I can’t get behind the Pacers. It’s Hawks or pass for me.
