Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Kings Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Mar. 23
By Zach Pearson
The Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a two-game win streak, something they haven’t done much of this season. They take on the Sacramento Kings who won’t have Domantas Sabonis and likely no De’Aaron Fox.
The Pacers would like to lose this game for their tanking hopes and drafting as highly as they can this year. The Kings are currently ahead of the Pacers in the draft standings at 5th, Indiana sits at 6th. An Indiana loss tonight would put them back in 5th.
On the season, the Pacers are 16-20 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 14-13 against the West while the Kings are 9-25 on the road and 2-10 against the East. Indiana ranks 15th in offensive rating and 26th in defensive rating while Sacramento sits at 22nd and 28th respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers vs Sacramento Kings Prediction
Unfortunately, we won’t get to see the full trade battle between the Pacers and Kings. With no Sabonis and a handful of Pacers starters out, we’ll have to wait until next season to see the “revenge game”.
This will be a young players’ game and a test to see who really wants to lose more. I think the Pacers at home find a way to win against the Kings, but if Haliburton and Duarte don’t play I think it becomes much harder with the shorter rotation.
