The Indiana Pacers will try to secure their second win of the season against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. Currently, the Pacers hold a 1-8 record, enduring a three-game losing streak, while the Warriors stand at 5-5.
The two teams met once earlier this season on November 1, with the Pacers winning 114-109—a victory that remains Indiana’s only win to date. Additionally, Indiana has defeated Golden State in each of their last four encounters, dating back to the 2023-24 season.
Both teams are coming off losses to the Denver Nuggets: the Pacers lost on Saturday and the Warriors on Friday. Golden State has dropped four of its last five games and currently sits as the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference. Sunday’s matchup offers a chance for both squads to regain momentum.
"Pascal Siakam, who has logged 30 or more minutes in eight of Indiana's nine games so far, is out for Sunday's game to rest."
This second matchup offers important opportunities for both the Pacers and Warriors as they aim to improve their season records and overcome recent struggles.
Summary: Both the Pacers and Warriors look to bounce back from recent losses, with key players managing injuries and rest ahead of their second meeting this season.
