Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 10/31/25

The Atlanta Hawks enter this matchup looking to capitalize on their early season momentum and overall growth on both ends of the floor. After a promising offseason focused on improving their defensive identity, Atlanta has shown more balance and maturity across the roster. Even with Trae Young sidelined due to a right knee sprain, the Hawks have enough depth and playmaking to stay competitive. Players like Dyson Daniels have stepped up as key contributors, and the team’s improved ball movement and spacing have allowed their offense to stay efficient. Atlanta’s ability to control tempo and tighten up defensively will be crucial as it looks to continue its winning ways against an injury depleted opponent.

Indiana, meanwhile, enters the game significantly short handed, missing several key rotation players including Obi Toppin, Andrew Nembhard, TJ McConnell, and Kam Jones. That level of attrition has put added pressure on Siakam and the rest of the team to carry the load offensively, and the Pacers’ overall rhythm has suffered as a result. Without reliable depth or consistent interior defense, Indiana could struggle to keep pace with Atlanta’s versatile attack. While the Pacers typically play hard and push tempo, their undermanned rotation makes it difficult to sustain efficiency for four quarters. Expect the Hawks’ depth, defensive improvements, and balanced scoring to make the difference here.
