Golden State Desperate for Road Success

· Dec 14 - 6 minutes read

An Intriguing NBA Wednesday Contest

The Golden State Warriors have been woeful on the road and look to end that against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

With the Warriors and Pacers being 14-14, there isn’t much separating them, and that’s the case with NBA betting markets.

Warriors vs Pacers Prediction, Preview, Odds, Picks, Dec. 14

Let’s check the latest NBA odds, stats, injury report and NBA lines for Warriors vs Pacers. We’ve plenty of NBA betting odds for you to consider.

Not Road Warriors

Bettors have no confidence in the Warriors winning on the road after yet another loss on Tuesday.

Despite attracting late betting moves, they suffered a 128-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. They were well-handled by the Eastern Conference powerhouse and now face another East team, the Pacers.

With only two wins and 12 losses on the road, it’s something we rarely see from the Warriors. They don’t usually have such lob-sided stats, so something needs to change for the defending champions.

They looked good when beating the Celtics, so they have the talent to beat good teams.

“The crowd was excited. We were excited, just the feeling of going against the team that you just played in the finals, especially the way they’ve played this year, they’ve just been so good, so dominant,” coach Steve Kerr said. “I thought we needed a game like that. We’ve been a little bit stuck in the mud.”

They are 14-14 against the spread, so the moneyline record matches. Bettors should expect the Warriors to improve as time goes on, but there isn’t the same excitement as usual.

The silver lining is that the sportsbook could start offering better odds for the Warriors, so they’re not worth dropping just yet.

Pacers Levelling Out

The Pacers have struggled in their last two games, losing to the Nets and Heat, but they were close contests.

They scored 133 in a defeat to the Nets before scoring only 82 in an 87-82 defeat to the Heat, where they dominated in the paint.

“This is classic Eastern Conference basketball — it’s physical, it’s grinding, and both teams were trying to play fast,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “The competition was great, but we’ve got to find a way to get better looks.”

Not many, including NBA odds, expected the Pacers to be competitive. They are 8-6 at home, which has helped. However, they haven’t been so successful for bettors lately.

They have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last 10 games, so they need to rebound and measure up.
