Indiana is just 4-6 in its last 10 games and struggling to find consistency since acquiring two-time All-Star Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors. Their last four losses, however, have all been by seven points or fewer.

Sacramento Kings vs Indiana Pacers Analysis

The Kings come into the Kings vs. Pacers best bets averaging 118.1 PPG, which is tied for ninth in NBA team stats. They’re 17th in defensive rating (117.3), but have kept teams below that number in three consecutive games. Their other team stats include 30th in free-throw percentage (73.1), fifth in assists (28.6), 22nd in steals (6.9), and T13th in three-point field goal percentage (37.0).

Sacramento is 13-11 on the road this season with a 24-21-1 record against the spread (ATS), including 14-9-1 on the road. Their over-under record is 21-25, including 7-17 on the road. De’Aaron Fox, the team’s leader in NBA player stats with 27.2 PPG, has just 36 points combined in his last two games.

The Indiana Pacers stats are impressive on offense. They’re first in PPG (124.4), second in pace (101.8), first in field-goal percentage (50.4), fourth in three-point field goal percentage (38.0), and first in assists (30.9), led by Tyrese Haliburton, who is among the NBA expert picks to win Most Improved Player.

However, Indiana’s defensive ineptitude is worth noting for the Kings vs. Pacers best bets. They’re 26th in defensive rating (120.4) and just 28th in rebounds (41.2). The Pacers are 27-20-3 ATS, including 14-9-2 at home. They have a 17-8 over-under record on home court.

Haliburton has played just three games in the last month and has been limited in each of those contests. He played just 21 minutes against the Knicks last night, but is expected to start against the Kings. Benedict Mathurin, however, is on the NBA injury report as a game-time decision. Sasha Vezenkov is a game-time decision for Sacramento.
