Pacers Aim to Extend Winning Streak Against Rested Warriors

Indiana seeks fifth straight win as they face Golden State, who have the advantage of extra rest.

The Indiana Pacers, riding a season-best four-game winning streak, face the Golden State Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back.
Golden State, led by Stephen Curry and key contributors Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga, enters the game with a 15-12 record and a day of rest.
The Pacers have benefited from the recent returns of Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard, who have bolstered their defense and transition play.
Indiana's recent success includes a dominant 122-95 win over the Sacramento Kings, marking their first victory this season by more than 15 points.
Despite recent momentum, analysts and betting odds favor the Warriors, who are predicted to leverage their rest advantage and home-court edge.
