Hawks vs Pacers Prediction

You have to check the injury report for updates before betting on this game because Haliburton remains questionable. With that said, I still lean toward the Pacers and the small chalk. While the Hawks beat the Pacers a couple of days ago, it’s the Pacers that have won five of the last six games against them. The Pacers have also played the better ball over the last month or so, and they’re fighting for a quality seed. The Hawks have looked like a team that’s ready for the season to end for a while now. The Hawks are also two games below a .500 record at home. I’ll lay the small chalk with the Pacers.
