Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers at Pistons Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Mar. 04

The Indiana Pacers oust the Orlando Magic to get their 22nd win of the season. Orlando is the lowest-seeded team in the east. Now, Indiana will travel to Detroit to take on the 14th seeded Pistons in the battle for draft positioning.

Malcolm Brogdon played the entire fourth quarter in Orlando before remaining in the game for all of the overtime that ensued. His sore Achilles is holding up well he says and should be good to go again in this contest.

On the season, the Pacers are 7-24 on the road and 11-30 against the East while the Pistons are 9-21 at Little Ceasars Arena and 12-25 against conference foes. Indiana ranks 18th in offensive rating and 25th in defensive rating while Detroit sits at 29th and 26th, respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers at Detroit Pistons Prediction

The Pacers bounced back after falling to the Magic on Monday, beating them in overtime on Wednesday night. Malcolm Brogdon scored a season-high 31 points and he nearly completed the triple-double, notching 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

Marvin Bagley III will not play for the Pistons, so rookie Cade Cunningham will be in the driver’s seat for Detroit alongside Jerami Grant. Earlier this season, former Pacer Correy Joeseph torched the Pacers, scoring 18 points off the bench.

I think the Pacers have the upper hand in this contest, but nothing is guaranteed this season. Nonetheless, the Pacers are 2-1 when Haliburton and Brogdon share the court and look to play their fourth game together tonight.
