The Indiana Pacers pay a visit to the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center on Monday night.

The Indiana Pacers have been in great shape to start the season as they’ve won six of their first nine games but they will be looking to bounce back in this one after having their two-game win streak halted by the Suns in a 125-117 loss on Saturday. Domantas Sabonis led the team with 28 points, 22 rebounds and four assists, Malcolm Brogdon added 22 points with nine assists, Justin Holiday scored 17 points while Victor Oladipo chipped in with 16 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 47 percent from the field and 12 of 29 from the 3-point line, but they needed more from Brogdon who shot just seven of 20 and Oladipo who shot just seven of 21 from the field. TJ McConnell sat out the game due to personal reasons and his status for Monday is unclear.

Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings have been in rough shape lately as they’ve lost five of their last six games and they will be looking to avoid a third straight defeat after getting routed by the Trailblazers in a 125-99 home loss on Saturday. Marvin Bagley III led the team with 15 points while De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes each scored 10 points. As a team, the Kings shot just 40 percent from the field and eight of 30 from the 3-point line as they allowed 38 points in the first quarter and got outscored in every quarter. Fox shot just three of nine from the field while Buddy Hield scored just eight points on three of 10 shooting.

Looking at the betting trends, the Pacers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The Kings are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a double-digit loss at home and 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.

Head to head, the under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.

The Pacers were in red-hot form before getting stopped by the Suns in their last outing while the Kings have simply been struggling with five losses in their last six outings. The Pacers are clearly the better team on both ends of the floor and they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss. The Kings are a streaky team that can come to life and beat any team on any night and the Pacers are still without TJ Warren who has been a key scorer for them, but I still have the Pacers getting the win in this one.
