Key Player Prop
Pacers' Bennedict Mathurin averages 23.0 points per game, taking at least 13 shots in each of his five outings since returning, facing a Wizards defense ranked 29th in rating. He and Pascal Siakam figure as Indiana's primary scoring threats amid the absences.
Prediction
Both squads rank near the bottom—29th (Pacers) and 30th (Wizards) in net rating—making this a clash of struggling teams. Despite Washington's poor ATS road record (5-10 as underdogs), the play leans toward taking the Wizards +6.5, as Indiana sits 0-2 ATS as favorites this season.
