Adam Williams presents his prediction for the NBA match.
After a poor start to the regular season, the Phoenix Suns have begun to climb quickly. The Suns are already seventh in the West and have a strong chance to break into the top six: ahead lies a meeting with the tanking Indiana Pacers.
Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns come into this game on a four-game winning streak, helped by the return of several key players. First, Dillon Brooks has finally recovered from injury and is averaging 17.3 points. Second, Grayson Allen has hit outstanding form with 22.6 points over the last five games. Together with Devin Booker (28.2), they form a potent trio ready to break down any defence.
Indiana Pacers
The injury list for the Indiana Pacers is not getting shorter, so their 1:10 record should not surprise anyone. The Pacers are built to score, but in their current state this is almost impossible, as is organizing the defense. On average, they allow 121.7 points (27th in the league), and in their last game they conceded 152 to the far-from-most-attacking Utah Jazz.
Phoenix Suns vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The favourites here are clear. The Phoenix Suns have finally found form and are eager to make up ground. The struggling Indiana Pacers are an opportunity the Suns should take advantage of.
