Lakers vs Pacers Prediction for Today's Game

Based on recent trends and head to head stats, Suns the Scorecaster predicts Suns to win tonight's game by 10 points. This model factors in recent against the spread (ATS) trends and scoring which predicts Suns to cover the 1 point spread and the total to go and the total to go over 232.5 points.

Staff Prediction LAL ATS (-2)

The Lakers come into this matchup having lost 2 of their last 3 games. However, the Lakers did win their last game, being led by LeBron James who scored 28 points. The Lakers are trying to get back in the playoff race and get out of the play-in tournament. The Pacers come into this one ice cold having lost 10 of their last 11 games. Without Tyrese Haliburton the Pacers have struggled and fallen in the standings. With how poorly the Pacers have played these last few week, expect the Lakers to win and cover the 2 points.

Lakers are finally showing signs of improvement. They are meshing well, and chemistry is way up. Rui looks like he's fitting in well and I just don't see Indiana beating this team right now. Lakers are desperate to move up in standings right now before the all star break. This is a great team to get a dub against. Make that $$ and take the Lakeshow.
