Tip and bets
Many Indiana players will miss this game. Pacers will have to play without Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb and JaKarr Sampson. Their absence will surely affect Pacers' game. Brogdon, for example, is one of the main attacking options.
Two weeks ago teams scored 246 points combined in a head-to-head game. But it won't be the same now. The absence of the leaders will surely affect the scoring, so we think that this game won't be high-scoring.
Our prediction - total under 241,5 points
Indiana has a weakened squad, so they will have a hard time in this game. It's unlikely that Pacers will be able to compete against the Hawks. We will put a bet on the guests.
Our prediction - Atlanta to win (Including OT)
