Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Pistons Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Apr. 3
The Indiana Pacers enter Sunday having lost six straight games, but they surprisingly waged a great fight against the streaking Boston Celtics in their previous outing, losing by just five points despite bannering a shorthanded squad and Tyrese Haliburton fouling out early in the fourth frame.
Entering the last four games of the season, the Pacers host the Detroit Pistons for their penultimate home game in this campaign. Both teams are not incentivized to win, as they are in the top five in lottery odds for the upcoming NBA Draft.
On the season, the Pacers are 16-23 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse and 11-37 against the East while the Pistons are 9-30 on the road and 17-32 against conference foes. Indiana ranks 16th in offensive rating and 28th in defensive rating while Detroit sits at 28th and 23rd respectively, in the same departments.

Indiana Pacers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction
Losers of six straight, the Pacers have a chance to break their losing skid against the Pistons, but with lottery positioning now becoming a more glaring need for cellar dwellers, they might not come out swinging against the visitors even at home, especially with a banged-up squad.
However, Indiana has played good basketball in their last outing, which could very well continue against Detroit. However, the Pistons have won two straight, and with Cade Cunningham at the helm, look for them to trump over the Pacers in a close contest decided in the closing minutes of the game.
Pacers 110, Pistons 113
