The Indiana Pacers’ heartbreaking defeat by the Cleveland Cavaliers last Sunday dashed their playoff hopes, leaving them no opportunity to advance to the postseason. Today’s game will be their last home match for the season. Unluckily for them, they haven’t played well on the home court, with a record of 20 wins and 19 losses.
One main reason why the Pacers’ defense performed poorly this season was that their defense, which became the second-worst in the NBA, allowed 119.0 points per game.
Indiana also conceded the third-highest average of rebounds to opponents, forfeiting 45.2 boards per game. It is left to be seen if Tyrese Haliburton will be present for today’s game, as he had been battling with ankle discomfort.

The Detroit Pistons are having a challenging season and are going back on the road after losing their final home game against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Besides that match, the Pistons lost 10 times in a row, and in four of those games, they conceded at least 120 points.
For road games, they have the second-worst record in the NBA, with seven victories and 32 defeats. To add to this, they are the second-worst offensive team, with an average of 110.6 points per game, and third-worst in efficiency, with a point differential of -8.2.
Jaden Ivey is one of Detroit’s young and upcoming players; he’s played 71 games this season. Ivey is gaining experience and scored 30 points on Tuesday against Miami Heat.
MatchPlug Prediction
Pacers VS Pistons will witness two eliminated teams with less-popular players play against each other. Both sides lack defensive power and this match may be a high-scoring one.
Indiana may have been knocked out a few days ago, but they’ve proven to be a force to be reckoned with this season. Now, they’ll face a team with the worst record, making experts believe that they’ll emerge victorious.
Final Prediction: Indiana Pacers Spread.
