I thought that this game might be the toughest challenge for the Warriors on this road trip. That and the Milwaukee game, as the Bucks are the last stop on a 7 game road trip and the second of a back to back.

The more I think about it, I think the Warriors should win this one more easily than anticipated.

The Pacers have been great, going with their small ball lineup and running Paul George at the 4. PG has been on an MVP level all year long. But the Warriors small ball is the best in the NBA. Draymond is probably the only 4 in the league who can guard PG.

Warriors win 108 - 101.

I expect the Pacers to put up a fight but I figure the Warriors will win 110-102

The PACERS are a lesser version of Golden State.

These are not the same big hulking defensive Pacers.
They want to play the style GSW love to play, but they are not nearly as good at that style.

only the fatigue of the streak and the road environment gives me pause....
Unless, GS is tired and stressed from the pressure. I dont like the matchup.

Pacers are a solid team- as I said earlier in some of the prediction posts- when you have a good GM, a good organization and players that work hard -plus Paul George- that goes a long way. I could see the Pacers upsetting the WArriors tonight IF the WArriors dont bring their A game.

Pacers will get exposed tonight.

Paul George is amazing (like MVP candidate amazing), but I see Golden State killing them if they decide to go small ball (which Indy has a lot this year) You can't beat them in their own game.

GS- 119
IND- 105

6th ranked defense in the league and holding teams to 43% shooting. GSW may win but scoring nearly 120? Highly doubt it

I have a feeling Indy is going to want to play a faster pace tonight with small ball to match GS and it'll kill them.

That wouldn't be unexpected to me. Major chance for a letdown in that game from the Warriors.

Last game of 2 week, 7 game road trip.
Back end of a back to back.
Length of their defenders to get out on Steph and Klay.
