Indiana at Washington

The Indiana Pacers survived a war vs. Miami at home, a game they needed mentally, and psychologically as they took the Heat's best punch and came out a winner. They will be ready here because a no-show performance in this one will only serve to negate the edge of winning against the Heat on their last time on the floor. Washington was supposed to be a much improved team as they appeared to turn the corner a year ago, but just haven't been able to get things going, hovering around the .500 mark all season. The Wizards' recent play has not been good as they are 1-4 in their last five games - all against losing teams. Indiana will come away with the road win here, so take them to win straight-up.
