Pacers vs Warriors Prediction
The Pacers are still missing Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin is listed as questionable, while the Warriors are keeping tabs on Moses Moody who is questionable with a knee injury. You can make an argument for either side here, but the Warriors came away with a 131-109 win on February 8 and I think we’re going to get a similar result in this one with the Warriors winning at home. Give me the Warriors to take care of business and come away with the win and the cover on the reasonable line.
