We all knew that the Phoenix Suns were one of the NBA title contenders, but on the other hand, the Pacers only recently became the name in the mix. After landing Pascal Siakam, boys from Indianapolis showed ambition, and the best way to confirm that would be to win in Arizona. Yet, that isn’t easy at all.
Indiana Pacers News
The Pacers landed Siakam, sending plenty of assets to Canada in exchange. Yet, we are sure that the former NBA champion is worth it. He spends a lot of time on the court, is a fantastic player, one of the best in the league in his position, and, more importantly, Siakam brings a championship mentality to Indianapolis.
We need to say that the Pacers do look inconsistent lately, losing three of four meetings, the most recent against the Portland Trail Blazers on the road. Siakam had 21 points, blending in right away. This was yet another game on the road, Rick Carlisle’s, their fifth in a row.
Phoenix Suns News
Devin Booker had 52 points against the New Orleans Pelicans, leading his Suns to a 123-119 victory, their fourth in a row. After beating the Lakers and the Blazers on the road, they were better than the Kings in Arizona and the above-mentioned Pelicans. This is a sign that the Suns are improving their form and looking to climb up the Western standings as soon as possible.
They aren’t too confident at the Footprint Center this season, having a barely positive record, 12 wins and 11 losses. But that is changing in accordance with the Suns’ form. When mentioning that, we need to add that Booker and the boys won seven of the latest then contests.

Betting Tip – Indiana Pacers vs. Phoenix Suns
The spread on the Suns is -5.5 points, and we believe that the hosts will cover that and win this event. We picked this because of the Suns’ solid form and the fact that Tyrese Haliburton has some issues with his fitness. But even if he was 100% ready to play, we would still bet on the Suns. The Pacers have been on the road for too long, and they are on a slight decline, unlike the home unit.
