The Indiana Pacers will welcome the reeling Washington Wizards next in the NBA, seeking to return to winning ways. Both teams sit outside the playoff places in the Eastern Conference and are three games apart. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Pacers are having a disappointing start to the year and currently sit 12th in the East standings. They have managed just six wins from their 16 fixtures and come to this game seeking to snap a three-match skid.

Rick Carlisle’s men ended a three-game road trip with a 129-117 loss to the Bucks. They are averaging 114.4 points a night. Indy has five players ruled out through injury, which could hamper their chances.

Meanwhile, the Wizards are once again the most underperforming team in the NBA. Brian Keefe’s men have registered just two victories in 14 outings and haven’t won at all in November.

The Southeast Division franchise is currently on a 10-match losing streak, the longest so far this year. Washington is coming off a 108-96 home loss to the Celtics.

The visitors are ranked in the bottom six places on both ends of the pitch, scoring on average 108.9 points and allowing 123.5 points. Jordan Poole is listed as questionable for this trip.
