Pacers vs Hawks Injury Report
The Pacers won’t have Isaiah Jackson or James Wiseman. Andrew Nembhard, Enrique Freeman, and Bennedict Mathurin are questionable.
The Hawks won’t have Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Cody Zeller, and Kobe Bufkin. Trae Young is probable despite a hamstring issue.
Pacers vs Hawks Prediction
The Hawks have lost seven straight games, and they’re getting killed defensively in these losses. Seeing half the team on the injury list doesn’t help the Hawks. The Indiana Pacers have injuries of their own, and you should check the status of Nembhard and Mathurin before betting. I still lean Pacers in a comfortable home win. The Pacers are playing some of their best ball of the season, which includes an 8-2 ATS and SU record in their last 10 games. The Pacers have won four straight games against the Hawks and have scored 150 or more points in three of those wins. This has a chance to get ugly. I’ll lay the points with the Pacers at home.
