Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Pacers are off to a solid 7-5 start this year. Indiana entered the year with a lot of question marks surrounding the team.
Early in the year, it appears as if the Pacers could be a playoff team out of the Eastern Conference.
The star of the Pacers has been former Iowa State standout Tyrese Haliburton. Halliburton has averaged 23.5 points per game while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor.
Big man Myles Turner is off to a good start, racking up 17.3 points per game paired with a team-best 7.2 rebounds per game.
The Pacer's first first-round pick from a season ago, Benedict Mathurin, ranks third on the team in scoring, averaging 13.0 points per game.
Overall, the Pacers have eight players that are averaging double figures.
Indiana ranks first in points per game (125.7).
The Hawks enter play with a .500 record at 6-6.
This is a big year for the Hawks after a disappointing season a year ago.
The combination of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray looks good on paper, but the Hawks faithful want to see it translate to the court.
Young leads the team in scoring, averaging 23.4 points per game, but has struggled shooting this year, with a percentage of 35.6 from the floor. Young leads the team with 11.1 assists per game, which ranks second in basketball.
Murray has been good to start the season, averaging 21.2 points per game.
Jalen Johnson has been off to a surprisingly strong start. Johnson played his college basketball at Duke but did not play much in college. He is averaging 15.0 points per game.
The Hawks offense ranks 5th in points per game (119.9).
Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks Pick
I love this spot for the Hawks at home tonight.
Atlanta is off to a sluggish start at home this year, but over the last couple of years, they have been tough to beat in Atlanta.
The Pacers offense is due for regression as they can not sustain the offensive success that they are having early in the year.
Indiana has been the third-worst defense in the NBA, allowing opponents 123.8 points per game.
Their defense will be a major issue tonight vs. this Hawks offense.
