Atlanta at Indiana

Indiana scored 90 on 28-of-70 shooting in Sunday's 98-90 home loss to Brooklyn, a Nets team that had not won a game before it. That was the Pacers' fourth straight defeat, and they are 2-5 overall and 0-3 at home. Tyrese Haliburton is out with a hamstring injury, and Ivica Zubac is out with an ankle sprain after missing his fourth straight game Sunday. On Friday, without those two plus T.J. McConnell and Obi Toppin, Indiana lost 145-125 at Miami. I see trouble at both ends of the floor, with the offense stalling against Brooklyn after the defense gave way at Miami. Atlanta is 3-4 and lost 121-99 to New Orleans on Saturday. Jalen Johnson, who averages 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.9 assists, left that game with an ankle injury and is questionable. Rookie guard Kingston Flemings is suspended for one game after his ejection. CJ McCollum and Onyeka Okongwu both played Saturday, and Okongwu pulled down 10 rebounds. The Hawks are thin, but Indiana has six players listed out and is playing a night after a loss. Atlanta still has the more complete rotation in this game. My play is Atlanta on the spread.
