Opening Line Trend
There is a heavy overlay here with the wrong team favored. We have Indiana 1.57.
Recent Head to Head
The Suns have won seven of the last eight including one on January 21 (117-110).
The seven Suns wins were by no less than the current spread.
Back to Back
Indiana played and won hosting Philadelphia last night. They also scored 134 points. They could be tired but at least there was no travel involved here.
Phoenix played two nights ago in Dallas and comes into this one slightly more rested.
Recent Performance
The Suns are looking for their 8th straight win.
The Pacers went through a period of five losses in six games but most of those were part of a brutal road swing. Prior to that drought, they were quite hot.
The Pacers won't have Tyrese Haliburton, along with playing last night, there is still a hefty 6.5 overlay here with Phoenix.
Pascal Siakam will be playing after being traded to the team last week.
Myles Turner is shooting 52.6% and averaging 17.2 points for the Pacers. Bennedict Mathurin is averaging 13.5 points over the last 10 games for Indiana.
