Golden State at Indiana

Premium Pick

It has been a rough season for the Golden State Warriors, as they have seen the injury bug dominate their games, but they are starting to get healthy again. While they will still be without Stephon Curry, they will have Thompson, Green, and Durant all back in the fold, and that is a lethal trio of its own. Indiana beat Golden State on Friday 92-81, when the Warriors were without four starters. Despite missing four key players, the Warriors actually took a lead into the fourth quarter, but with a lack of depth, and experience on the floor they could not seal the deal. It will be a much different story tonight, with revenge, and most of their All-Star lineup in tact. Golden State has won 57 games despite a myriad of injuries that have plagued them all season, and getting their swagger back by winning three straight. The Pacers have been very good defensively, while the Warriors have been much undervalued defensively because of so many injuries, a shorter bench, and players playing out of position. These teams have played many defensive struggles over the years, and in their last 44 meetings have produced 203.6 points per game. These teams have played three of the last 13 meetings without either team getting to 100, and 8-of-13 without either team getting to 110. This game looks like another one that plays in the low 100s at best, so ride with Golden State and the UNDER in this one.
