Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks Preview

Atlanta is entering the contest in do-or-die mode in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks are 28-34 on the season, clinging to ninth spot in the East. The Pacers, meanwhile, aren't so desperate. In fact, Indiana has been one of the best teams since the All-Star break, going 5-2.

The Hawks could be in trouble, listing Trae Young, Larry Nance Jr., Vit Krejci and Daeqwon Plowden on their injury report. Young's absence could pose a significant problem for Atlanta's hopes for a win. For the Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton is designated as a game-time decision, which could be a problem as tip-off approaches.

Indiana's depth could prove to be the difference, with one of their stars potentially sidelined.

Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks Prediction

This one isn't the toughest choice. We will take the Pacers, by a comfortable margin. Even in Tyrese Haliburton's potential absence, Indiana has plenty of depth and a plug-and-play veteran option in T.J. McConnell.

With Pascal Siakam leading the way versus Atlanta, expect the three-time All-Star to lead Indiana to a victory in hostile territory.
