Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Suns Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Jan. 14
The Indiana Pacers did not put up much of a fight against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, getting swept by the C’s in their home-and-away series to fall to 15-27 on the season. Despite welcoming back their top players, the Blue and Gold struggled on both ends and failed to garner much rhythm, if at all.
Indy will not have any time to pout, though, as the Phoenix Suns, owners of the league’s best record, come to the Circle City for their first meeting this season with the Pacers. This will mark Indiana’s final home game before kicking off a tough five-game Western Conference road trip.
On the season, the Pacers are 12-11 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 7-5 against the West while the Suns are 14-4 on the road and 11-2 against the East. Indiana ranks 15th in offensive rating and 21st in defensive rating while Phoenix sits at eighth and second, respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
It is fairly difficult to bank on the Pacers to get a bounce-back win even at home, as the Suns simply boast too much firepower on offense and stability on defense for Indiana to get much edge going for them on the onset. Phoenix has also been the most consistent team in the league so far, even touting the league’s second-best record on the road.
With the Suns essentially being a nightmare matchup for the Pacers, look for Phoenix to ride a solid all-around game for a wire-to-wire victory, sending Indiana packing as the need for roster changes loom bigger by the day.
