Indiana Pacers vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction: Tyronn Lue's team underestimated?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers hosted Memphis, the second team in the Western Conference, in their first game at home after the All-Star break. Indiana survived a tough test, defeating the Grizzlies 127:113. The team managed to shut down the opponents' leader Ja Morant, who ended up with only 12 points. Tyrese Haliburton was the most productive player for the Pacers with 22 points. Myles Turner finished the game with a double-double - 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Thus, the Pacers, having won a convincing victory over such a strong opponent, confirmed that they are one of the main favorites of the current championship in their conference. Now Indiana with a 31-23 record sits in fourth place in the East, behind only the recognized leaders - Boston, Cleveland and New York.

Los Angeles Clippers

But the Los Angeles Clippers will not be so easy to stay in the playoff zone of the Western Conference. Their rivals Dallas, Golden State and Minnesota are in good shape, and Tyronn Lue's team, sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, is now only 1.0 win ahead of seventh place.

In the first game after the restart of the championship, the Clippers suffered a defeat. On the road, LAC failed to cope with Milwaukee, allowing the Bucks to restore the balance in the season series - 110:116. Even Kawai Leonard's 25 points, James Harden's 24 points, who is already 13th in the list of scorers in the history of the NBA, and Ivica Zubac's double-double - 20 points, 15 rebounds - did not help the Clippers.

H2H Meetings

The score in the season series is 1:0 in favor of Indiana, and in the two previous championships the rivals exchanged victories.

Expert Betting Tips

Los Angeles Clippers are close to missing the sixth line in the Western Conference and even on such a difficult away game as Indianapolis, they have to play only to win. In general, Tyronn Lue's team is having a good championship, besides, Kawai Leonard is already in full form, so in the upcoming match, we believe that LAC is underestimated. We bet with a plus handicap on the Clippers and at the same time do not expect the game to be productive. Defense is what often brings today's Clippers results, and the Pacers in terms of work on their half-court this season have added significantly.
