Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers have been in red-hot form as they’ve won 11 of their last 13 games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight win after outlasting the Hawks in a 132-127 home win on Saturday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 29 points, nine rebounds, and five assists, Andrew Nembhard added 19 points with five assists while Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin scored 17 points each. As a team, the Pacers shot 54 percent from the field and 12 of 33 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they wasted an early 18-point lead before they closed the final 3:21 on a 13-8 run to come away with another solid home win.
Utah Jazz
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games overall, but they will be feeling much better after putting an end to an eight-game slide with a 113-99 win over the Magic on Saturday. Collin Sexton led the team with 22 points and eight assists, John Collins added 19 points with six rebounds and two blocks while Lauri Markkanen chipped in with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks. As a team, the Jazz shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 35 from the 3-point line, but this win was more about their defense as they held the Magic to just 21 points in the first quarter and kept the pressure on until they led by 21 points in the third quarter.

Jazz vs Pacers Prediction
The Pacers are still missing Isaiah Jackson and Enrique Freeman, while the Jazz are still missing Cody Williams and Taylor Hendricks. The Pacers come into this meeting as one of the hottest teams in the league, they have all their key players healthy and were always going to be favorites against this slumping Jazz team who have won just two of their past 13 games. I expected the line to be slightly higher, so I am happy to take the Pacers to get the win and cover on the road in this spot.
