Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Grizzlies Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Mar. 15

The Indiana Pacers are fresh off two impressive outings on a back-to-back, managing to get a win against a shorthanded San Antonio squad before taking Atlanta to the finish line in a close loss. Now, the Pacers head back home to host one of the best teams in the NBA this season.

With just 13 games remaining, Indiana will welcome the Memphis Grizzlies for their first meeting this season. Tied for second in the Western Conference, the Grizz’s unprecedented rise behind Ja Morant and their deep roster have pushed them back to NBA contention. Unsurprisingly, they are tabbed by some as a dark horse for the title.

On the season, the Pacers are 15-19 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 12-12 against the West while the Grizzlies are 23-12 on the road and 16-8 against the East. Indiana ranks 16th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while Memphis sits at sixth and seventh respectively, on the same departments.

Pacers Injury Report

Goga Bitadze (foot), Malcolm Brogdon (concussion), Lance Stephenson (ankle), and Chris Duarte (toe) are listed as game time decisions. Meanwhile, Myles Turner (foot), TJ McConnell (wrist) and TJ Warren (foot) remain sidelined. Ricky Rubio (torn ACL) is out for the season and is not with the team.

Indiana Pacers vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction

The Pacers could be even more shorthanded back home to fight the Grizzlies, which have won three straight. Also, Memphis is at full strength, with Dillon Brooks having returned to the lineup after a lengthy absence due to injury.

Against Morant and the Grizzlies’ intimidating prowess to score inside, the Pacers’ brittle defense will probably be in for a beatdown. On the other side, Memphis has a slew of perimeter defenders to throw at Tyrese Haliburton and slow the game down to neutralize an up-tempo Indiana team. Bet on the Grizzlies to win easily.
