Indiana Pacers vs. Golden State Warriors Preview

The Indiana Pacers have fallen from grace this term as they sit second from bottom in the Eastern Conference standings. Currently riding a three-game losing streak, the Pacers have struggled to build an identity.

They have struggled on both ends of the court, averaging 110.3 points per game, which places them 28th offensively, while their 119.2 figure ranks 22nd best in the league. Despite leading the league in rebounds (48.9 per game), their ball movement has been poor, averaging only 23.3 assists, the second-lowest mark in the NBA.

Additionally, they have struggled with injuries this term, with multiple players joining Tyrese Haliburton on the injury report. T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Obi Toppin (foot), and Kam Jones (back) have been sidelined since October, while Bennedict Mathurin (toe), Johnny Furphy (ankle), and Quenton Jackson (hamstring) were added earlier this month.

On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors have experienced a mixed start to their season. The team started with back-to-back wins, but has been unable to build a winning run and currently reflects a 5-5 record in the league.

After back-to-back road losses against the Sacramento Kings and the Denver Nuggets, the Warriors return home aiming to protect their unbeaten record at Chase Center. Overall, Golden State has averaged 116.1 points per game while conceding 116.7, reflecting a balanced performance on both ends of the floor.

In terms of injuries, the Warriors could be without Steph Curry (illness) and Al Horford (foot), who are listed as questionable.
