The Indiana Pacers travel to the AT&T Center to do battle with the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night. Here’s a Pacers vs Spurs Prediction.

Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their last six games overall, but they are hoping to bounce back in this spot after getting embarrassed by the Pelicans in a 129-102 road loss on Friday. Isaiah Jackson led the team with 13 points and 11 rebounds, Pascal Siakam and Myles Turner each scored 12 points while Bennedict Mathurin chipped in with 13 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 42 percent from the field and 10 of 32 from the 3-point line, but they were never really in the contest after allowing the Pelicans to explode for a ridiculous 48 points in the first quarter. The Pacers will take on the Mavericks after this one.

San Antonio Spurs

 Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs have been in a terrible slump as they’ve lost 12 of their last 14 games overall, but they are coming into this one feeling pretty good after they put a halt to a five-game slide with a 132-118 win over the Thunder on Thursday. Victor Wembenyama led the team with 28 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, Devin Vassell added 28 points with nine assists, Jeremy Sochan tallied 21 points with 10 rebounds while Tre Jones chipped in with 17 points and eight assists. As a team, the Spurs shot 52 percent from the field and 19 of 39 from the 3-point line as they caught fire early and poured in 69 points in the first half to keep pace with the Thunder in a close contest, until they closed the final 3:46 on a 16-5 run to pull away and escape with the impressive upset win at home.

San Antonio Spurs Team Facts

  • The Spurs have lost each of their last 15 games against Eastern Conference opponents that held a winning record.
  • The Spurs have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 10 Sunday night games.
  • Six of the Spurs’ last seven games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Indiana Pacers Team Facts

  • The underdogs have won five of the Pacers’ last six games at Frost Bank Center.
  • The Pacers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games against Western Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • Ten of the Pacers’ last 11 road games against Southwest Division opponents have gone UNDER the total points line.

Pacers vs Spurs Prediction

The Pacers were starting to build some momentum with four wins in five games, before they got dismantled by the Pelicans in an ugly loss on Friday, while the Spurs were absolutely ice-cold before they pulled off a big upset against the red-hot Thunder as double-digit underdogs. The Spurs looked great in their surprising win in their last outing, but that performance has been a real outlier for them, as they’ve been one of the worst teams all season. Sure, the Spurs can certainly earn another upset if they play as well as they did on Thursday, but the Pacers are the more consistent team and I think they take care of business in this one.
