Indiana has been in excellent form in recent matches. Rick Carlisle’s team has won 7 out of the last 8 games. The only setback occurred in a home game against the Eastern Conference leaders, “Boston” (101-118). However, in the next game, the “Pacers” took revenge, defeating the “Celtics” with a score of 133-131. Recent successes have had a positive impact on the “Pacers'” position in the standings. The hosts climbed to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. Nevertheless, the competition remains high, and a defeat could push “Indiana” down to the eighth place. Maintaining the winning pace will be challenging, especially since Tyrese Haliburton, who averaged 24.2 points and 12.7 assists per game, suffered an injury.
Washington is having a dreadful season. The “Wizards” have only secured six victories in 36 matches and occupy the 14th place in the Eastern Conference, ahead of only the hopeless “Pistons.” So far, Wes Unseld Jr. has been unable to lift his team out of the crisis. The last victory for the capital club was back in the previous year – they defeated the “Brooklyn Nets” on December 30 (110-104). In the last two games, the “Wizards” suffered defeats at home to “New York” (105-121) and “Oklahoma” (128-136). Want more up-to-date basketball match prediction and stay informed?
