Why the Pacers can cover
Indiana is fresh off a 132-111 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, but the Pacers had won eight of their last 10 games prior to running into the team with the best record in the NBA. Tyrese Haliburton has kicked it into high gear during the month of March, averaging 20 points and 11.2 assists per game while shooting 50.4% from the floor and 40.3% from the 3-point line.
Over their last 11 games, the Pacers are shooting 50.2% from the floor as a team and 38.8% from the 3-point line. During the December win over the Kings, Pascal Siakam led the way with 19 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. Siakam is averaging 20.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game this season.

Why the Kings can cover
Meanwhile, the Kings suffered a blowout loss of their own on Saturday, losing 121-91 to the Orlando Magic. DeMar DeRozan had 21 points and Domantas Sabonis turned in a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds, but Sacramento went just 7-for-28 from beyond the arc and turned the ball over 16 times.
As losers of five of their last six games, the Kings are trying to stave off the Phoenix Suns for the final spot in the West’s NBA play-in tournament. However, despite their recent struggles, the Kings are 23-20 since Doug Christie took over as the interim head coach after Mike Brown was fired and the Pacers will be without Bennedict Mathurin (calf) on Monday.
