Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers at Suns Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Jan. 22
Despite missing their entire starting five and key role players, the Indiana Pacers managed to squeak past the Golden State Warriors in a tremendous upset on the road, riding the solid play of their rookies en route to an impressive 121-117 win in overtime to bump their record up to 17-29 on the season..
With two consecutive road dubs on their belt, the Pacers wage their win streak against the Phoenix Suns which, at 35-9, are heads and shoulders above everyone in the standings. Indiana could very well tout an undermanned lineup, and they could only hope for a repeat of their scrappy and fiery play in San Francisco last Thursday.
On the season, the Pacers are 5-17 on the road and 9-7 against the West while the Suns are 17-5 at home and 13-2 against the East. Indiana ranks 14th in offensive rating and 21st in defensive rating while Phoenix sits at fifth and second, respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers at Phoenix Suns Prediction
The injuries have unlocked a lot of opportunities and court time for the Pacers’ youngsters. And with many of their top guns still in the injury report, the role players will have to step up and rise to the plate once more, especially against the Suns’ uber-efficient two-way machine headed by All-Star guards Devin Booker and Chris Paul.
Gritty will the name of Indiana’s play if they want to carve out another improbable win, but ultimately, Phoenix is simply too disciplined on both ends to even give the Pacers a fighting chance. Look for the Suns to settle this one early with defense.
