Without Haliburton and Turner, beating Atlanta is difficult. We don’t think anything will happen for Indiana because Tyrese and Miles play too important a role in Rick Carlisle’s schemes. It’s likely that the Hawks will win on the road this time around.
The Pacers are certainly a fast team, but without Haliburton and Turner, it will be difficult to hold their own. We think the Pacers’ scoring will drop a bit, so the opponents won’t break the 238.5-point mark.
