Two Eastern Conference team will meet on Saturday night as Indiana Pacers will host Brooklyn Nets. The visitors from Brooklyn have played 27 times this season and they have 15 wins and 12 losses which gives them the 4th position in the standings. The Pacers have played 26 games, they have 14 wins and 12 losses and are 1 spot below Brooklyn - 5th. In this game, I'm taking the Pacers.

Brooklyn is going to miss a lot of players tonight. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons, Joe Harris, Nicolas Claxton and others won't be able to help the Nets. Who's going to start for them? Players like Edmond Summer, Cam Thomas, David Duke, Kessler Edwards and Day'Ron Sharpe - I'm more than sure that you don't any of them. And you shouldn't because they aren't even a rotation players. As for the Pacers, their leader Tyrese Haliburton is questionable but every other important player will be ready.

Both teams played on Friday night. Pacers hosted Washington Wizards and they got a 121:111 victory with Buddy Hield scoring 28 points, while Haliburton contributed with 23 points and 11 assists. Brooklyn played against Atlanta and won by only 4 points although the Hawks were missing both John Collins and Dejounte Murray. Interesting that Summer and Sharpe were the only players from today's active roster who played last night.

Indiana has been a good home team with 8 wins and 4 losses while Brooklyn has been struggling on the road with just 5 wins in 12 games. The Pacers have had 5 back-to-back games and they have won all of them. It will the 7th back-to-back night for Brooklyn but previously they have split 6 games. Indiana is mentioned as a home favorite in this one and they have won 5 out of 6 games while Brooklyn has won only 2 out of 5 games when they have been labeled as road underdog.

This game could get ugly very fast. Indiana will be at full strength but Brooklyn will miss every important player. The Nets will treat this game as a practice but for Indiana it is a great chance to collect an easy victory and climb up in the standings. This will be the last time season when both teams plays against each other. The Pacers have won and lost in Brooklyn but collected a win in Indiana. They will end the series with a win.

两支东部球队将在周六晚上相遇，印第安纳步行者将主场迎战布鲁克林篮网。来自布鲁克林的访客本赛季已经打了27场比赛，他们取得了15胜12负的成绩，排名第四。步行者已经打了26场比赛，他们取得了14胜12负的成绩，比布鲁克林的第五名低一个位置。这场比赛，我要拿下步行者队。

布鲁克林今晚会错过很多球员。凯文·杜兰特，凯里·欧文，本·西蒙斯，乔·哈里斯，尼古拉斯·克拉克斯顿和其他人都不能帮助篮网。谁来为他们先发?像埃德蒙·萨默、卡姆·托马斯、大卫·杜克、凯斯勒·爱德华兹和戴·罗恩·夏普这样的球员——我敢肯定你没有任何一个。你不应该这样做，因为他们甚至都不是轮换球员。至于步行者，他们的领袖泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿是值得怀疑的，但其他重要球员都将做好准备。

两队都在周五晚上比赛。步行者主场迎战华盛顿奇才队，他们以121:111取胜，巴蒂·希尔德得到28分，哈里伯顿贡献23分和11次助攻。布鲁克林在对阵亚特兰大的比赛中只赢了4分，尽管老鹰队失去了约翰·柯林斯和德约特·穆雷。有趣的是，萨默和夏普是今天现役名单中唯一昨晚上场的球员。

步行者是一支8胜4负的好主场球队，而布鲁克林在12场比赛中只赢了5场，在客场表现不佳。步行者队有5场背靠背比赛，他们都赢了。这将是布鲁克林队第7次背靠背比赛，但之前他们已经分了6场比赛。步行者在这场比赛中被认为是主场最受欢迎的球队，他们在6场比赛中赢了5场，而布鲁克林在被贴上客场劣势的标签时，5场比赛只赢了2场。

这场比赛可能很快就会变得很难看。步行者将全力以赴，但布鲁克林将错过每一位重要球员。篮网队将把这场比赛当作练习，但对于步行者队来说，这是一个很好的机会，可以轻松获得胜利，并在积分榜上攀升。这将是本赛季两队最后一次交手。步行者队在布鲁克林赢了也输了，但在印第安纳州赢了一场。他们将以一场胜利结束系列赛。
