Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers at Spurs Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Mar. 12
Following a lengthy break after a late-game fumble at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Indiana Pacers head back on the road, once again with a more banged-up roster, as they battle one of the more spirited teams in the league recently.
With the San Antonio Spurs nabbing a comeback win over the Utah Jazz last night, Gregg Popovich clinched the title for the most coaching wins in the regular season in NBA history. Fortunately, the Pacers will not be on the wrong side of history anymore, though the Spurs, with their momentum, may prove to be a lot tougher as expected, even with tired legs.
On the season, the Pacers are 7-26 on the road and 11-12 against the West while the Spurs are 13-20 at the AT&T Center and 10-19 against the East. Indiana ranks 17th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while San Antonio sits at 16th and 19th respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers at San Antonio Spurs Prediction
While the Pacers are very well-rested, it’s not difficult to see why the oddsmakers are leaning on the Spurs to take this one, especially with them bringing a banged-up roster to take on an inspired basketball team which just made history last night.
Nevertheless, Indiana typically struggles with defending up-tempo teams. Led by All-Star Dejounte Murray, expect San Antonio to nab their second straight dub in a close game as Gregg Popovich’s acclaim as the winningest coach of all time continues to make headlines.
