Pacers vs. Warriors History
This Friday marks the 100th regular season matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors. The Pacers lead the series with a 52-47 record over the Warriors, but it was Golden State who took the first matchup of this season, demolishing Indiana in a 131-109 blowout. The Pacers will look to rectify that loss, but with Steph Curry back from injury, the Warriors have their best weapon back. Indiana is 22-27 against the Warriors on the road, however the Pacers have won 4-straight as the visitors in Golden State. Normally a steadfast home team, the Warriors have been inconsistent in the Chase Center, posting an 18-18 record. Indiana will look to exploit the Warriors weakness and extend their win streak against Golden State on the road.
Pacers vs. Warriors Game Predictions
The Warriors are favored by 4 and a half points, but I’m going with the Indiana Pacers in this one. The Pacers have a winning record as underdogs, going 18-16 when the oddsmakers go against them. The Warriors are 16-13 as home favorites, a sharp decline in what we normally see from Golden State, especially on their home court. The Pacers remain the top-scorer in the NBA and Indiana won’t face much resistance against the Warriors middling defense.
Steph Curry has returned from injury, and the shifty shooter will certainly be a thorn in Indiana’s side, but as the top-scoring team in the league the Pacers will be able to neutralize Curry. Steph is the only true threat on the Warriors, while all five Pacer starters average over 10-points per game. Indiana’s defense doesn’t present much of a challenge so I’m expecting a high-scoring game, which is why I also like the over, but the Pacers top-tier scoring ability has me taking Indiana.
In summary, here are my picks for the Pacers vs. Warriors Friday night matchup:
- Moneyline Pick: Indiana Pacers (+160)
If you take the Pacers Moneyline (+160): You bet $100 to win $160, for a total payout of $260, if the Pacers win straight up.
- ATS Pick: Indiana Pacers (+4.5)
If you take the Pacers to Cover the +4.5 Spread (-110): You risk $110 to win $100, for a total payout of $210, if the Pacers win the game, or lose by less than 5 points.
- O/U Pick: Over (237)
If you take the Over on 237 total points (-110): You risk $110 to win $100, for a total payout of $210, if the Pacers and Warriors combine for more than 237 points.
