Reasoning

It’s not often we see the Lakers lose in clutch situations, but their 9-game winning streak came to an end in Detroit on Monday after Luka Doncic failed to hit a shot late. LA is now 22-7 SU in clutch games this season, still the highest win percentage in the league at just under 76%. Their final game of this road trip sees them take on the Indiana Pacers. By all accounts this shouldn’t be a close game at all. A veteran team like LA should know how to keep its composure following such a disappointing loss, and this road trip will be a major success if the Lakers can end it with a dub in Indiana.

The Pacers don’t instill fear into anyone these days. They just posted their first win in 17 games, beating the struggling Magic 128-126. If was their first win since mid-February, in these last 10 or so games of the regular season they are not expected to up their level of play despite the win at Orlando. For the game against the Lakers, they have Obi Toppin, Pascal Siakam, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith all on the injury report as questionable — so we don’t even know who might suit up.

Since it’s the Lakers and games against them usually draw a lot more attention than against other teams, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pacers went after it. On paper, the Lakers should win in convincing fashion — but Indiana has actually fared really well in head-to-head meetings at home by covering the spread in 8 of the last 9 games. LA’s 3-point shot has fallen off a bit in the last couple of games, connecting on just 8 triples against Orlando and Detroit — which makes me doubt they will cover. Let’s go for the points instead. The over has cashed in 4 of 5 meetings and in the last 5 Indiana games overall.
