Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/31/26

The Indiana Pacers (12-36) will be trying to win their third home game in a row when they welcome the Atlanta Hawks (24-26) on Saturday. Yes — for a team as bad as Indiana is, 3 is a streak. The reality, though, is that the Pacers are actually playing decent basketball these days. They are 6-5 in their last 11 overall and 4-1 in their last 5 at home. Atlanta had been on a 4-game winning streak before getting blasted 104-86 at home by Houston on Thursday. With home-court advantage against an unspectacular opponent, my Hawks vs Pacers pick is Indiana on the money line.

The Hawks took care of this head-to-head matchup 132-116 on Monday, but that was in Atlanta and the home team was healthier than it will be on Saturday. Onyeka Okongwu will miss his second straight game after getting bloodied and requiring a dental procedure, while Jalen Johnson is questionable due to a calf injury. As recent developments in the NBA suggest, you don’t mess with calf issues. For Indy, Pascal Siakam has scored at least 20 points in 15 of his last 16 outings; Andrew Nembhard has scored at least 18 points in 4 of his last 6 games and has dished out at least 9 assists in 5 of his last 6. Finally, the Pacers have won 3 times as many games at home (9) as they have on the road (3) this season. Let’s go with Indiana and don’t bother with the 1.5 points.
