The Pacers have performed better in preseason games. In addition, the Pacers have beaten Washington at home on a regular basis in recent years. The Wizards have lost five of their previous six games in Indianapolis. We think the home team has a better chance to win.
The Wizards did not impress offensively. Unseld’s men have failed to score even 100 points in three of their four preseason games. It looks like the upcoming game won’t be very productive.
