The Indiana Pacers saw their five-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday, with the Minnesota Timberwolves putting the clamps on the hosts en route to a 115-101 win. While the latter shot a staggering 61 percent from the field, the Blue and Gold were limited to just 38.5 percent shooting overall.
For the final game of their current homestand, the Pacers will face the Brooklyn Nets for the third time this season before heading into a tough and lengthy seven-game road trip out West which could very well define how prepared the team actually is to mount a winning bid this season.
Both teams have split their season series so far. Indiana leads the all-time series, 109-81, though Brooklyn has won eight of the last nine head-to-head matchups.
Indiana Pacers: 8th (ORtg), 19th (DRtg), 8th (Pace), 10th (NRtg)

Indiana Pacers vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction
The Pacers are coming off a poor shooting performance and will look to get back on track against a pretty unpredictable Brooklyn Nets team which could look the part of a contender on one night, and a lottery team on the other. Indiana is much more stable though, especially chemistry-wise. Take the hosts in a relative upset and a close one as they head into a road trip with momentum on their side.
Pacers 118, Nets 114
