Phoenix Suns vs Indiana Pacers prediction
The Phoenix Suns are looking more and more like a team that’s figuring things out with Durant, Booker, and Beal on the court together. The Indiana Pacers are on the end of a back to back and could once again be without Tyrese Haliburton. The Phoenix Suns are the healthier rested team, and they’re playing the better ball as of late. The Suns also beat the Pacers by 7 points a few days ago back in Phoenix. Assuming Haliburton is still out, I have to lay the chalk with the Suns on the road.
