Behind a balanced attack, the Indiana Pacers managed to turn the table on the Washington Wizards last night, winning 127-117 to notch their second win of the season. Myles Turner (27 points and 10 rebounds), Tyrese Haliburton (25 markers and 12 assists), and Buddy Hield (25 points on five three-pointers) led the team in scoring.
The Pacers, however, will have a quick turnaround, as they are on deck for the second leg of a back-to-back, this time going against the Brooklyn Nets for the first time. Rather surprisingly, the talented Nets have largely struggled this season, nabbing just a single win in five outings.
The Nets swept the season series against the Pacers last season, winning in all three meetings. Indiana leads the all-time series, 108-80, but Brooklyn has won seven straight against them. The Pacers’ last victory over the Nets came on November 2019.

Indiana Pacers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Pacers’ offense is really clicking right now, and coming off a morale-boosting win last night, that momentum should carry over in this game. However, with the Nets needing to play with a stronger sense of urgency and more pride, look for the more veteran club to eventually prevail at home, especially with them having a rest advantage over the Blue and Gold.
Take Brooklyn in a close one.
Pacers 117, Nets 121
