Warriors vs. Pacers: Duel of Form Seekers Set for March 23, 2024

Our Warriors – Pacers tip on March 23, 2024 (3 a.m.):

For the second time this season, the Golden State Warriors and the Indiana Pacers will meet on the night from Friday to Saturday. The season is similar for both teams, but while the Pacers benefit from being in sixth place in the slightly weaker Eastern Conference with a record of 39-31, the Warriors are currently fighting for their place in the play-ins. With 36 wins and 32 defeats, they are currently only 10th in the West.

But it’s not just the balance sheets that are similar, the form of the two teams also makes the Warriors-Pacers tip not particularly easy. Five of the last ten games were lost and instead of getting into shape towards the end of the season, both teams are still looking for their rhythm. In the first direct duel, Steph Curry led his Warriors to victory with 42 points, but you can be sure that the Pacers want to take revenge, also to further secure their direct playoff qualification.

Warriors – Pacers Prediction: Warriors win duel of form seekers

The Warriors had actually made a small run for themselves in February and even 6th place seemed to be within reach at times. But with the terrible defeat against the Celtics at the beginning of March and a subsequent injury to Curry, the flow was lost. Five defeats in nine games not only caused stagnation, but also meant that the Rockets, who had won eight of their last ten games, were able to make up ground in 11th place. Golden State shouldn’t allow itself to make many more slip-ups, otherwise the play-in place they thought was safe could still be in danger.

For the guests from Indiana the situation is a little more relaxed. With a lead of 12.5 games in 11th place, they will certainly not slip out of the play-ins, but the Pacers would still like to avoid the play-in. They are currently ranked 6th, but the Heat and 76ers in 7th and 8th place each have just one win less than the Pacers. So every game counts for Indiana, but the current crisis in form of their top player, Tyrese Haliburton, doesn’t make the situation any easier.

This is how the last encounter ended!

Golden State won the first game at the beginning of February with 131-109. Steph Curry scored 29 of his 42 points in the first half, laying the foundation for the Warriors’ success. In the end, the best three-point shooter of all time scored eleven times from beyond the three-point line, while the Pacers as a team were only able to sink 12 successful three-point shots.

Our Warriors – Pacers tip: Lots of points guaranteed

Indiana has to travel to Golden State from Detroit, but like the Warriors, they had yesterday off. So both teams go into the game well rested.

• The Pacers continue to have the best offense in the league (122.8 points). But the Warriors don’t have to hide either, as they are one of the best seven offenses in the league with 118.6 points per game.
• While things are going great offensively, Indiana is struggling on defense. They concede 120.7 points per game – only two teams defend worse. The Warriors are not a top team defensively (116.8), but there are ten teams that score even more points
• The mix of good offenses and poor defenses means we can expect a fireworks display. Although the scoring has recently fallen somewhat in league-wide comparison, today everything points to a game with a lot of points.
