Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers vs Spurs Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Oct. 21
The Indiana Pacers, despite losing Myles Turner to injury, hanged with the Washington Wizards for the majority of their season-opening game, but ultimately fell short in their late comeback bid to start off the season on the losing column.
Fortunately, the Pacers will have a big chance to seize a dub and make their debut in the wins department, as they play hosts to the San Antonio Spurs, one of the most clear-cut rebuilding teams in the league. After trading Dejounte Murray in the offseason, the Spurs are clearly playing for the future, and they are similarly coming off a home loss to begin their campaign.
Last season, the Pacers swept the season series, winning both games against the Spurs. San Antonio leads the all-time series, 55-43, though Indiana has won four of the last five meetings between both clubs.

Pacers Injury Report

Indiana Pacers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Pacers, despite not having their defensive anchor, should not feel too nervous going up against a Spurs offense still looking to set their pecking order in the scoring department. Having Gregg Popovich will ensure that San Antonio minimizes their mistakes and moves the ball to keep the defense on its heels, but bet on Indiana taking the win here.
Pacers 116, Spurs 107
