It’s Thursday, March 27, and the Indiana Pacers (42-30) and Washington Wizards (16-56) are all set to square off from Capital One Arena in Washington.
The Pacers are currently 17-19 on the road with a point differential of 1, while the Wizards have a 2-8 record in their last ten games at home. Indiana has won both meetings versus Washington this season and has one more matchup remaining after tonight.
Indiana lost 120-119 on a buzzer-beater by LeBron James last night, but this is a good spot to get a bounce-back win after that loss snapped a five-game losing streak. Washington is 1-5 in the past six games and coming off a 119-114 win over the 76ers last night.

Expert picks & predictions for Thursday’s Pacers vs. Wizards game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pacers on the spread and Tyrese Haliburton to double-double once again:
“Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers earned the push last night, but the loss to the Lakers snapped a five-game winning streak, while the Wizards earned a win in Philly over the 76ers to snap a five-game losing streak. I’d imagine the Pacers have the motivation edge and the Wizards would like to avoid winning two straight games in favor of tanking. It’s Pacers or pass and once again, Tyrese Haliburton to double-double is a good play considering he has now done so in 12 consecutive games.”
