Indiana Pacers vs Los Angeles Lakers Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Nov. 28
Last night’s road-trip opener against the shorthanded LA Clippers did not go too well for the Indiana Pacers, with the team falling victim to Ivica Zubac’s monstrous 31-point, 29-rebound outing as they dropped to 11-8 on the season.
On the second night of a back-to-back, the Pacers face a rested Los Angeles Lakers team that has won four of its last five, three of those against the lowly Spurs. Still, the hosts will have momentum on their side, as well as a rest advantage to try and wear Indiana down.
Both teams split their season series last season. Los Angeles leads the all-time series, 63-33, and has won three of the last four head-to-head matchups.
Indiana Pacers: 10th (ORtg), 16th (DRtg), 5th (Pace), 11th (NRtg)
Los Angeles Lakers: 27th (ORtg), 8rd (DRtg), 1st (Pace), 24th (NRtg)

Indiana Pacers vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Pacers have an advantage on the perimeter, but the Lakers, despite their bad record, are led by three bruisers in Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Russell Westbrook. A spirited showing from reported trade targets Myles Turner and Buddy Hield would be timely though, not only to make fans salivate, but also to help Indiana regain its footing and continue its good start to the season. Still, on tired legs, the safer bet is on the star-studded hosts to win.
