Command Analysis

Indiana Pacers

Current form
When the Indiana accelerates, it is difficult to stop it. Rick Carlisle's team is on a roll right now — four wins in five matches, and these are not just numbers, but an indicator of excellent form. In the last match, the Pacers dealt with Dallas at home with a score of 135:131. The main character of the evening? Pascal Siakam. 29 points, confident actions in attack and a real leadership performance. But he wasn't the only one who forged the victory: Bennedikt Maturin added 23, Andrew Nembard 22, Aaron Nesmith 18, Obi Toppin 13. The team is confidently holding on to the top four of the Eastern Conference (39-29), and if it keeps up the pace, the playoffs are a done deal for it.
Disqualifications and injuries
Indiana is approaching this match with an almost perfect lineup. The only doubt is Tyrese Haliburton's involvement. If he plays, the Pacers' attack will become even more powerful.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten head-to-head matches, Indiana and Brooklyn have averaged 225 points.
Approximate composition: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Miles Turner

Brooklyn Nets

Current form
But Brooklyn is still clearly stalling. Four defeats in five meetings, and the team seemed to have lost confidence. In the last match, the Nets hosted Boston and suffered a logical fiasco — 96:104. Moreover, everything started well — Brooklyn won the first quarter. But then Jordi Torres' team just crumbled. Deangelo Russell did his best (18 points, five rebounds, seven assists), but his teammates supported him poorly. Zayary Williams scored 15, Keon Johnson scored 13, and Trendon Watford and Cameron Johnson scored 11 points each. The Nets are currently in 12th place in the East (23-46), and the play-in already seems like an impossible dream.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brooklyn has losses — Cameron Johnson is injured and will not help the team.
