Washington vs Indiana Prediction: the Pacers are Getting Revenge

Indiana's had two straight losses, which is something that hasn't happened to Rick Carlisle's team since late December. Will the Pacers manage to avoid their third straight loss in a road game against Washington? We've got a prediction for you. Let's take a look at the statistics, bookmakers' odds, and pick a few betting options.

Washington

The Wizards won three games in a row on the road for the first time this season. They beat Minnesota (105:103), Brooklyn (119:102), and Charlotte (124:114). But after that, Washington lost three games in a row. Brian Keefe's team played all of these games at home, losing to Cleveland (124:134), Atlanta (111:125), and San Antonio (121:131).

Washington's record in the current championship is 9 wins and 44 losses, so it's pretty likely they'll stay on the last line in the Eastern Conference and at the end of the championship. Right now, there's a 5.0-win gap between Washington and the penultimate place team.

Indiana

The Pacers have been on a roll as the best team in the Eastern Conference for the past month or so, but Rick Carlisle's team is coming into the matchup with Washington on the wrong side of a couple of losses. This is the second time in 2025 that Indiana has been in this position. First, on the road, the Pacers couldn't stop the Los Angeles Lakers (117:124), who were playing without Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Then, on their home court, they lost by double digits to New York (115:128). But, overall, Indiana's midway point total is looking good.With a 28-23 record, the team from Indianapolis is sitting pretty in the top four of the Eastern Conference. It's also worth mentioning that the Pacers are almost top-10 in offensive rating — currently ranked 11th with an average of 115.7 points per game.

H2H Meetings

Indiana's got the upper hand in the season series, with a 1-0 score. Last championship, the Pacers took two out of three games from Washington.

Expert Betting Tips

Indiana's going to be fired up and ready to go after losing the last two games in Washington, so it's pretty unlikely the Wizards will win this one. The Pacers are going to come out on top, and it's going to be a high-scoring game. Indiana's offense is pretty solid, and Washington's defense is pretty bad this season.
