Forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ended his night with 16 points, 2.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 35 minutes of action. Washington has won three of its previous 10 contests. While they are struggling, the team is playing better than the Pacers. Washington is now 11-15 away, 15-15 at home and 8-17-1 ATS on the road.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Pacers, on Tuesday, in their 128-119 road loss against the Bucks, guard Buddy Hield scored a team-high 36 points in 37 minutes played. Guard Tyrese Haliburton closed out his performance with 17 points, 4.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists in 36 minutes on the court. Indiana has won just two of its last 10 games. On top of their seven-game losing streak, the Pacers are 13-17 at home, 6-23 away and 14-15-1 ATS at home this season.<\/p>\n<p><em><b>According to ESPN\u2019s Basketball Power Index, the Pacers have a 54.5% chance of winning.\u00a0<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Before placing a bet, it\u2019s important to consider other matchups. In the past three head-to-head meetings, the Wizards are 2-1 versus the Pacers. On Dec. 6, 2021, the second time these teams played one another during this regular season, Indiana won 116-110 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Wizards defeated them in the first meeting \u2014 played on Oct. 22, 2021 \u2014 when they won 135-134 in overtime at Capital One Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Concerning the Wizards\u2019 injury report for tonight\u2019s game, forward Rui Hachimura is listed as questionable to play. He might need more time to recover from his right ankle sprain. Kristaps Porzingis was traded by the Mavericks last week, and he will remain out for the Wizards due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rui Hachimura is listed questionable for tomorrow&#8217;s game against the Pacers with his right ankle sprain.

The Pacers\u2019 seven-game skid is leading gamblers to continue to bet against them. Though, BetOnline oddsmakers could not determine a clear-cut favorite for this matchup. Washington has won just one more game than Indiana over the last 10 contests.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the number of players the Pacers have out, the Wizards should be the favored team. As of yet, the only players contributing at a high level for Indiana are former Kings\u2019 players Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton. Taking everything into account, pick the Wizards to win and the total will go <strong>under <\/strong>226. If you have never placed a bet, feel free to check out our handicap betting guide.
