Indiana Pacers vs LA Clippers Prediction: Will the California team continue its winning ways?

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Pacers seem too embarrassed by the defeat in the final of the in-season tournament, where the best offense of the NBA could not oppose the Los Angeles Lakers - 109:123. Then Indiana beat only Detroit (131:123) and lost three times - Milwaukee (126:140), Washington (123:137), and Minnesota (109:127).

The disappointing stretch showed that Indiana should not be considered a contender for a truly serious tournament challenge. While the Pacers are good on offense, their defense is poor - 126.0 points per game and penultimate place in the respective rankings.

The Clippers are now effective on both halves of the court. The team is fifth on defense, allowing 110.0 points per game, while on offense, they've almost made it to the top 10 - now 13th and 115.6 points per game. California's ability to adjust to a particular opponent is also impressive.

Last game, the Clippers beat the New York Knicks 144-122 at home. Kawai Leonard had 36 points, Paul George had 25, and James Harden had 10 points and 12 assists, with only one loss.

Indiana will not move away from their fast-paced basketball, so a shootout may happen in the upcoming game. We generally bet on the standard for today's Pacers total over. As for the outcome, we assume that the Clippers will get another win, as they have more balance in their game than Indiana.
