Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Wizards Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Feb. 16
By Zach Pearson
The Indiana Pacers are now 19-40 on the season after losing to the Milwaukee Bucks last night. The team is lacking depth right now, with now both Chris Duarte and Isaiah Jackson out with different foot/ankle injuries.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle spoke to the media after last night’s loss and said this about the team and its current depth.
"“The situation we’re in right now with 10 guys, we did a lot of good things. We had 32 assists and we were battling out there, hung around and you know it is just a tough night”."
On the season, the Pacers are 6-23 on the road and 8-29 against the East. Indiana ranks 17th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while Washington sits at 22nd and 22nd, respectively, on the same departments.
The Pacers have the 5th worst record in the NBA heading into the All-Star break.

Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Indiana Pacers are currently on a seven-game losing skid despite a great start to his time in Indiana with Tyrese Haliburton on a hot streak. Haliburton is averaging 20.7 points per game and just over 10 assists while shooting 52% from deep.
The Wizards will be without Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porzingis, and Daniel Gafford which bodes well for the Pacers’ lackluster big man rotation. It has not been announced if Isaiah Jackson can play, but until then, it is up to Goga Bitadze to head that center rotation.
