Indiana Pacers vs Golden State Warriors: prediction for the NBA match
In recent team history, they have faced each other 32 times: Indiana has secured 17 victories, while Golden State has been stronger 15 times. It's worth noting that the last time the Warriors defeated their opponent was in mid-December 2021 (102-100).
Indiana Pacers
Indiana has performed well in the last two matches. After a series of losses, Rick Carlisle’s team managed to defeat “Houston” (132:129) and “Charlotte” (115:99).

Golden State Warriors
Golden State has won 4 out of the last 5 matches, but it hasn’t been enough to break into the top 10 of the Western Conference. Currently, the “Warriors” hold the 11th position, trailing behind the 10th-placed “Utah” by three victories. The team from San Francisco had successful outings in the last two matches. In those games, the “Warriors” defeated “Brooklyn” (109:98) and “Philadelphia” (127:104). Steve Kerr’s squad is eager to continue their winning streak.
