Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Thunder Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Feb. 25
By Zach Pearson
The Indiana Pacers are set to play their first basketball game in eight days, after enjoying a nice week off. They have an easy welcome back, where they take on the OKC Thunder.
The Pacers were able to go into the All-Star break with a win after beating the Washington Wizards, where they snapped a seven-game losing streak.
This will likely be the first time we get to see the pairing of Tyrese Haliburton and Malcolm Brogdon share the court.
"Rick Carlisle shares his thoughts on the two, “I think they’re perfect complements to one another. They both have had their share of playing with and without the ball so both positions come naturally to them.“I’m looking forward to it. Really with those two guys and their knowledge of the game, feel for the game, I should never have to call a play. That’s the kind of belief and trust I have in those guys and their understanding of the NBA game.”"
On the season, the Pacers are 6-23 on the road and 9-29 against the East. Indiana ranks 17th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while OKC sits at 30th and 8th, respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Indiana Pacers are currently fresh off a week-long break from basketball and set to face one of the worst teams in basketball. Indiana themselves haven’t performed to standard this season, but they should have the upper hand in this contest.
The Pacers beat OKC in their last meeting in late January, where the Pacers won by three in overtime. The final score was 113-110. Rising Star Josh Giddey scored 15 points and 10 rebounds against a much different Pacers squad.
