Pacers Have Pathetic Defensive Effort Against Utah
The Pacers enter this game at 1–10, and their struggles have been glaring from the start of the season. In their most recent outing, Indiana was overwhelmed by the Utah Jazz in a 152–128 defeat, a game where their defense simply couldn’t hold up. Pascal Siakam was one of the few bright spots, scoring 27 points on efficient shooting, while Andrew Nembhard chipped in 25 points and seven assists. Despite those individual efforts, the Pacers allowed Utah to shoot over 55% from the floor and gave up 19 made threes, highlighting how porous their defense has been.
Offensively, Indiana has been inconsistent. They’re averaging just 109 points per game, ranking near the bottom of the league, and their three-point shooting has been a major issue at under 30%. Siakam has provided leadership and scoring, but without Tyrese Haliburton, the offense lacks a true engine to create rhythm. The Pacers have also struggled with turnovers and fouls, often putting themselves in difficult positions against stronger opponents. Against Phoenix, they’ll need to find ways to slow the pace and avoid getting into another shootout they can’t win.

Defensively, the Pacers are giving up nearly 122 points per game, one of the worst marks in the NBA. Their inability to contest shots on the perimeter and control the glass has left them vulnerable, and opponents have consistently taken advantage. Facing a Suns team that just lit up Dallas for 123 points, Indiana will have to dig deep to avoid another lopsided scoreline. Siakam and Nembhard can provide offense, but unless the defense tightens up, the Pacers risk being out of the game early.
Suns Grab Big Road Win Against Mavs
Phoenix comes in at 7–5 after a strong win over the Mavericks last night, where they held off a late rally to secure a 123–114 victory. Devin Booker led the way with 26 points and nine assists, while Grayson Allen added 23 points, including key buckets down the stretch. Dillon Brooks chipped in 18 points, and the Suns shot 46% from the field while knocking down 14 threes. It was their fourth straight win, and they’ve now taken six of their last seven after a slow start to the season.
The Suns’ offense has found its rhythm, averaging nearly 117 points per game. Booker continues to be the centerpiece, but Allen’s emergence as a reliable scorer has added another dimension to their attack. Phoenix moves the ball well, ranking top 10 in assists per game, and their ability to spread the floor with shooters makes them difficult to defend. Against Indiana’s struggling defense, the Suns should have plenty of opportunities to push tempo and generate open looks.
Defensively, Phoenix has been solid enough to complement their scoring. They held Dallas to 41% shooting and forced 18 turnovers in their last game, showing they can pressure opponents into mistakes. While Jalen Green remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, the Suns’ depth has stepped up, with role players like Brooks and Mark Williams contributing on both ends. Facing a Pacers team that has struggled to score consistently, Phoenix has a clear edge. With momentum on their side and home-court advantage, the Suns look poised to extend their winning streak and keep climbing the Western Conference standings.
Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns Pick
Pacers vs Suns Spread Pick
- Phoenix -4.5 (2 Units)
The Suns -4.5 looks like the right side given how they’ve been playing lately. Phoenix is riding a four-game winning streak, capped by their 123–114 victory over Dallas on November 12, where Devin Booker and Grayson Allen carried the offense with efficient scoring and timely shooting. That kind of momentum matters, especially against an Indiana team that’s been struggling to find consistency on either end of the floor. The Pacers have been giving up points in bunches, and Phoenix’s balanced attack—built around Booker’s playmaking and Allen’s perimeter shooting—should be able to exploit those defensive lapses.
On top of that, Phoenix’s defense has been quietly solid, forcing turnovers and holding opponents to tough looks, which matches up well against Indiana’s shaky offense. The Pacers rely heavily on Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard to generate scoring, but against a disciplined Suns defense, it’s hard to see them keeping pace for four quarters. With Phoenix’s depth stepping up in Jalen Green’s absence and their confidence growing after beating a strong Mavericks team, laying 4.5 points feels reasonable. The Suns have the momentum, the matchup edge, and the home-court advantage to cover this number.
Pacers vs Suns Over/Under Pick
- Under 232 (3 Units)
The Under 232 looks like a strong play because Phoenix has leaned on its defense during this recent winning streak, holding Dallas to 114 points and forcing 18 turnovers just last night. Indiana, meanwhile, has struggled to score consistently, averaging only 109 points per game and shooting under 30% from three. With the Suns controlling tempo through Devin Booker’s half-court sets and the Pacers lacking the firepower to push pace, this matchup projects more as a grind than a shootout. The combination of Phoenix’s defensive discipline and Indiana’s offensive inefficiency points toward a total that stays below the number.
