Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Timberwolves Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Feb. 13
By Zach Pearson
The Indiana Pacers lost to Caris LeVert and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday after a strong start to the game. The team scored a season-high 47 points in the first quarter.
Now, the new-look Pacers will face the Minnesota Timberwolves who are 29-27 and 7th in the Western Conference.
The Duo of Haliburton and Duarte scored 23 and 18 points in their debut. Haliburton showed a lot of promising things to get the fans excited for what is to come – hitting nine of his fifteen shots. Isaiah Jackson however landed funny on his ankle and will miss time again tonight.
Tyrese Haliburton was critical of himself after Indiana lost to Cleveland. Saying he will be better when noticing his 6 turnovers. “That’s not who I am”, Haliburton said. They certainly want to win this game for their new fans in Indiana.
On the season, the Pacers are 13-16 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 8-27 against the East. Indiana ranks 19th in offensive rating and 25th in defensive rating while Minnesota is 15th in defensive rating.

Indiana Pacers vs Minnesota Timberwolves Prediction
The Pacers should come into this with a lot of energy, especially with the home crowd rallying behind the newcomers. This was the case in their first game played on Friday but unfortunately resulted in a loss.
Haliburton and Hield played well for the Pacers in their debut, but Caris LeVert took over to lead Cleveland to victory.
Without Sabonis or Turner, the Pacers will struggle against All-Star big man, Karl Anthony Towns. Towns is averaging 24.3 points per game along with 9.5 rebounds. He is an All-Star for a reason.
Goga Bitadze and Jalen Smith will be on to guard him. Terry Taylor could help in that regard as well, as he has filled in well in the center role in previous games – averaging 8 points and 6 rebounds.
