Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY & # 39; HUI Sports

The Indiana Pacers have won five of their last seven games and will aim for a third straight win after beating the Suns in a 109-104 road victory on Tuesday. Domantas Sabonis and Doug McDermott led the team with 21 points each, Myles Turner added 16 points with 13 rebounds and five blocks, while Bojan Bogdanovic scored 15 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 42% on the field and 11 of 26 from the 3-point line, but they found themselves in a battle with the modest Suns until Bogdanovic followed the three-pointer with 31 seconds to escape Phoenix with narrow victory. With the win, Indiana improved to 13-8 and 7-4 on the road.

The Los Angeles Lakers have recorded seven wins in eight games, but they recovered after losing and lost to the Nuggets in the 117-85 road defeat on Tuesday. Kyle Kuzma led the team with 21 points, Brandon Ingram added 14 while LeBron James was only 5 of 15 to finish with 14 points in one of the worst performances of his career. As a team, the Lakers shot 39% on the field and five of the 35 points on the 3-point line, which was not enough to fit with the Nuggets who outclbaded them 59-35. Lonzo Ball has sprained his ankle against the Nuggets and is currently considered dubious for Thursday.

Looking at the betting trends, the Pacers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games, 16-6 to 22 in their last 22 games against a team with a winning record. a record of 1-6 against the gap in their last seven games after a win against the gap. . The Lakers are 2-5 Away in their last seven home games, 1-4 against five in their last five games as a result of a loss and a record of 1-9 against the gap in their last 10 games against the Eastern Conference.

Head to head, the home team has a 6-2-1 record against the gap in the last nine meetings, the Pacers are 1-5-1 against the gap when last seven meetings and 0-3-1 against the gap in the last four meetings in Los Angeles. .

Victor Oladipo is currently considered dubious for this game which represents a big loss for the Pacers, but to their credit, they continued to win games with players like Sabonis and Turner taking over. The Lakers have recovered in their last two games and they looked horrible in their 32-point loss against the Nuggets on Tuesday, which does not give me confidence. The Lakers could also be without Ball which is questionable with a sprained ankle, but in a tight match, I think LeBron and the Lakers are recovering with a well-deserved home win.
