Indiana Pacers will visit Sacramento Kings in the first of two meetings this season. Wednesday's contest will mark Domantas Sabonis' first game against his former team, while it will also be Tyrese Haliburton's return to Sacramento following a trade that saw the two players swap teams.
The 12-8 Pacers are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, thanks to a strong offense. Indiana ranked eighth in points per game and 11th in offensive rating. Their defense, however, has been a middling unit, ranking 19th in opponents points per game and 13th in defensive rating.
The 10-9 Kings are sixth in the Western Conference. Sacramento have had a top-three offense this season, ranking second in points per game and third in offensive rating. Their defense has not had the same success, as they are ranked just 27th and 25th in opponents points per game and defensive rating, respectively.

Indiana Pacers vs. Sacramento Kings Betting Prediction
Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings have both been much better than expected through the first quarter of the season. The Kings, however, have come back down to earth after winning seven in a row. Sacramento enter this contest having lost their last three contests. While they may put a halt to their losing streak, expect this to be a close game. Look out for the Kings to win by no more than four points.
Prediction: Indiana Pacers +4.5 (-110)
