Indiana struggling without Haliburton
The Indiana Pacers appeared in the NBA Finals in 2025, but were unable to do much with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined with an Achilles injury last season. The Pacers (2-5) are looking to snap a four-game losing streak and have fallen a half-game out of tenth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Sunday, Indiana trailed for 96 percent of the time during a 98-90 home loss versus Brooklyn.
Indiana G Andrew Nembhard connected on 4-for-10 from long range and matched a game-high with 23 points. Versatile F Pascal Siakam contributed 17 points (6-14 FG), five rebounds, and five assists. Quenton Jackson added 12 points (4-8 FG) in 24 minutes off the bench for the Pacers.
Indiana ranks in the bottom third of the league in offensive efficiency and is scoring a shade below 113 points per game. During yesterday’s loss, the Pacers nailed 13-for-35 from the three-point line and shot just 40 percent overall. Indiana was outrebounded by a 43-37 margin and committed 15 turnovers.
Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Picks and Prediction
Pick: Indiana Pacers
Atlanta F Jalen Johnson is hobbled by an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for this contest. The Hawks took two-out-of-three against the Pacers a season ago, but Indiana won the final meeting at home by a 129-124 final score. Indiana is a slightly better offensive unit and will be motivated to earn their first home victory. Take the Pacers to cover.
Pick: Over
Indiana is playing at the fifth fastest tempo in the NBA and Atlanta ranks in the middle of the pack. The Hawks own a 4-3 O/U record and are averaging 118.5 points per game. The Pacers are 12th in the league in effective field goal percentage and are scoring 112.4 points per contest. Take the over.
Final Score Prediction: Atlanta Hawks win 125-123
