Indiana Pacers vs Houston Rockets Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Nov. 18
Continuing their impressive play recently, the Indiana Pacers defeated the Charlotte Hornets last Wednesday night, 125-113m taking over late in the fourth quarter to upend the hosts in a high-scoring contest. For the first time in almost two years, the team is now in possession of a winning record.
Tonight, the Pacers remain on the road to visit the Houston Rockets which, at 3-13, own the worst record in the Western Conference and second-worst in the league. This should be a pretty good opportunity for Indiana to extend its momentum.
Last season, the Pacers swept the season series, winning both contests against the Rockets. Houston leads the all-time series, 57-42, though Indiana has won five straight.

Indiana Pacers vs Houston Rockets Prediction
Both teams have not been good defensively so far, so this will be a battle decided by which team outshoot the other. The Rockets have pretty good creators on their team, with a similar makeup to the Pacers’ style, but with Indiana on a roll and touting a much more efficient offense, expect the visitors to come out of the gates strong in Houston.
