The Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors play on Thursday night at the Oracle Arena in Oakland.
The Pacers enter this game having lost three straight games, all on the road. Indiana is really missing Victor Oladipo now and while you have to give them credit for staying afloat, things are starting to crumble. Darren Collison is listed as questionable here and head coach Nate McMillan won’t be in Oakland to coach his boys due to personal reasons.

The Warriors have been very inconsistent as of late but they’ve managed to keep the #1 position in the West. The Dubs recently signed Andrew Bogut to add ceiling and to fetch more championship experience. Bogut will back up DeMarcus Cousins who is expected to return after missing two games with an ankle injury.

Indiana is 4-6 SU in their last 10 games played. The Pacers are 0-5 SU in their last five games on the road. Golden State is 5-5 SU in their last 10 games played. The Dubs are 1-2 SU in their last three games played at home. Head to head, the Warriors are 7-3 SU in their last 10 meetings against the Pacers.
Golden State annihilated Indiana 132-100 in their first meeting of the season and given that they are without Oladipo plus Darren Collison is questionable and Nate McMillan out for personal reasons. Boogie Cousins is expected to be back so I don’t see how a 17-19 SU road team can beat the champs at home where they are 24-10 SU on the season. I’m picking the Golden State Warriors to beat the Indiana Pacers on 3/21/19.
The Pacers are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games played. Indiana is 1-4 ATS in their last five games on the road. The Warriors are 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games played. Golden State is 1-2 ATS in their last three games played at home. Head to head, the Warriors are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games against the Pacers.

Odds from betonline.ag as of 3/21/19
Indiana is 0-5 ATS in their last five games when their opponent allows 100 or more points in their previous game, 0-4 ATS in their last four games after an SU loss and 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. Golden State is 4-1 ATS in their last five games after allowing more than 100 points in their previous game, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning percentage of above .600 and 4-0 ATS in their last four games against Central Division teams. Indiana is starting to miss Oladipo down the stretch and while the Dubs have been inconsistent, they can turn it on when they want to, especially at home. I have to go with the Dubs here. Prediction: Warriors -11.5
The total has gone under in seven out of the last 10 games played by the Pacers. Indiana has seen the total go under in four out of their last five games on the road. The under is 9-1 in the Warriors’ last 10 games played. The total has gone under in the last three games played by the Dubs.
