Indiana Pacers vs Los Angeles Lakers Picks and Predictions: Luka Inherits a Broken Rotation on the Second Night of a B2B

The Indiana Pacers (15-47), riding a seven-game losing streak and chasing lottery odds more than wins, travel to Crypto.com Arena to face a Los Angeles Lakers (37-25) squad on the back end of a back-to-back after dropping a 120-113 road decision in Denver, with LeBron James (left elbow contusion, left foot arthritis), Deandre Ayton (left knee soreness), and Maxi Kleber (lumbar back strain) all officially ruled out for Friday's 10:30 PM ET tip, leaving Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves to carry the entire offensive identity against a Pacers team that got Pascal Siakam back Wednesday for 29 points and five boards in 30 minutes, with Siakam listed as probable tonight and the total sitting at 234.5 in a game where a single injury report knocked out two starters and the Lakers' most reliable interior presence all at once.
