Pacers vs Pelicans prediction for 11/25/24: picks, odds, injury updates

(updated with new information)

The Indiana Pacers are at the end of a home game when the New Orleans Pelicans come to visit. Both teams were badly beaten.

The Pacers (7-10) snapped a three-game losing streak on Sunday and Tyrese Haliburton had a strong game (21 points, 5 of 11 3-pointers) against the Washington Wizards. They are still without four rotation players: starters Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard, and reserves Ben Sheppard and Isaiah Jackson.

The Pelicans (4-13) are missing star big man Zion Williamson, regulars Herbert Jones and Jose Alvarado, and perhaps guards Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum. They have won just one of their last eleven games.

The Pelicans defeated the Pacers 125–118 on November 1, behind Williamson’s 34 points. The Pacers lost Nesmith and Jackson in that game to long-term injuries.

Pacers vs Pelicans prediction, picks

Dustin Dopirak, IndyStar: Pacers 122-115

With their top three fullbacks injured and after three losses on the road, the Pacers are doing well against the last-place team in the Eastern Conference. The worst in the West comes on Monday.

After beating Washington, New Orleans comes to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pelicans have been decimated by injuries far more than the Pacers.

The Pelicans still have a little more punch than the Wizards, so they should keep things interesting. Brandon Ingram will certainly be a tough cover without Aaron Nesmith available. But if the Pacers maintain an offensive rhythm, they should earn their second straight win.
