Washington at Indiana

Many had the Indiana Pacers pegged as high as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference this year. Paul George even made a bold claim before the season started that he was going to lead his team over the top, and take down the Cavaliers and LeBron James. At 29-27, the Pacers are certianly a long way from that, and the all-star break can't come fast enough for this team as they have dropped five straight. Prior to the losing streak, the defense allowed fewer than 100 points in four straight games, but in the five game losing streak they are allowing 116.6 points per game. The Wizards are on a roll at 17-3 straight-up in their last 20 and 14-6 ATS. They are outscoring opponents by 8.8 ppg. These teams are heading in opposite directions here, so play on Washington.
