Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers prediction
The Indiana Pacers should be favored as they’re at home and have the rest advantage. However, the Pacers have a questionable Haliburton, Mathurin and Smith and that makes them less attractive until we know the status of all three of those players. Also, while the Warriors are on the end of a back to back, they’ve won 4 of their last 5 games and despite the consistency issues overall, you don’t get them in this big of an underdog role often. The Warriors are healthy for the most part, and they’re dangerous as these vets know now is the time to make a potential playoff push. Give me the road dog, as the Warriors can hang in this game.
