It\u2019s about as worst-case scenario as you can get for the Indiana Pacers to start the season as the defending Eastern Conference Champions.\u00a0At 1-8, the Pacers will visit the Golden State Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n
Even with potential injury concerns for the Dubs, G-State is still a hefty 12.5-point home favorite.<\/p>\n

My Pacers vs. Warriors predictions and NBA picks<\/a> expect Indy to put up a fight on November 9.<\/p>\n Want to make sure Covers shows up often in your Google search results and Discover feed? Pacers vs Warriors prediction<\/p>\n Pacers vs Warriors best bet<\/strong>: Pacers +12.5 (-105)<\/p>\n It was always going to be tough sledding for the Indiana Pacers<\/a> out of the gate, as Tyrese Haliburton would be gone for the year recovering from an Achilles injury, but Indiana just hasn\u2019t been able to dig in and win games.<\/p>\n It’s been in a lot of them, just not last night, where the Nuggets whipped them 117-100, sending Indy to its third loss in a row. Indiana was down guard Ben Mathurin (toe), and his status is unknown for the Warriors\u2019 game.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Of the eight losses, five have been by single digits, including two by one possession. The Pacers will be catching the Golden State Warriors<\/a> amid a slump with losses in four of their last five games.<\/p>\n They, too, were demolished in Denver, 129-104, for their worst loss of the season.<\/p>\n The Dubs have been playing without Steph Curry, who has missed the last two games with an illness, and he\u2019ll be a game-time decision on Sunday. Golden State may also be without Al Horford (foot).<\/p>\n Regardless of who is in the lineup, Rick Carlisle can pull maximum effort out of his bunch, and there should be no exception against the Warriors.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n This one is a big wait-and-see wager. If Curry can go, I\u2019d be more inclined to take the Warriors to send the Pacers spilling for loss nine on the year.<\/p>\n Still, the books are giving the Dubs a ton of credit, even though they have just one of their five wins on the year by 13 points or more.<\/p>\n The Pacers are 2-0-0 against the spread this year playing on the second night of a back-to-back. I don\u2019t think they win, but they’ll stay in range.<\/p>\n MORE NBA FREE PICKS<\/a><\/p>\n Pacers vs Warriors same-game parlay<\/p>\n Jimmy Butler<\/a> should be the one to take the scoring responsibilities if Curry can\u2019t go or if Steph plays and is ineffective.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n He\u2019s been bothered by a sore back, and it\u2019s affected his play as Butler has scored a total of 18 points over the last two games. This, after scoring 20+ points six of the previous seven games.<\/p>\n Andrew Nembhard<\/a> got back in the lineup after missing seven games with a strained shoulder and looked good in his return, scoring 22 points and dishing out six assists.<\/p>\n The scoring could come and go, but Nembhard should play a bigger role in getting his teammates into good scoring positions.<\/p>\n Pacers vs Warriors SGP<\/p>\n Jimmy Butler Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Andrew Nembhard Over 4.5 assists<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Our “from downtown” SGP: Sunday lay<\/p>\n A Draymond Green scoring spike has you set up with a good next-game prop. Green finished with 17 points in the loss to the Nuggets, courtesy of splashing five 3-pointers.\u00a0It\u2019s just the third time in nine games this year he\u2019s cracked double digits.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Because Rick Carlisle has Pascal Siakam in so many actions at the top of the key defending either the screener or ball handler in a pick-and-roll, he\u2019s not always in a prime rebounding position. That\u2019s why he\u2019s gone Under 6.5 rebounds in five straight.<\/p>\n Pacers vs Warriors SGP<\/p>\n Jimmy Butler Over 20.5 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Andrew Nembhard Over 4.5 assists<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Draymond Green Under 9.5 points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Pascal Siakam Under 6.5 rebounds<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Pacers vs Warriors odds<\/p>\n Spread<\/strong>: Pacers +12.5 (-105) | Warriors -12.5 (-115)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Moneyline<\/strong>: Pacers +475 | Warriors -650<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Over\/Under<\/strong>: Over 228.5 | Under 228.5<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Pacers vs Warriors betting trend to know<\/p>\n Indiana has won seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings against G-State.
