Preview | Golden State Warriors
The Warriors started their road trip with two losses, but arrested this slump against the Knicks last night. They won 114-106, as Stephen Curry returned with a phenomenal 37 point game. As a team they still shot below average, so going up against the Pacers, they will need to address those concerns.

The return of Kevon Looney and James Wiseman gave them a boost in their last game, and should help them to deal with the threat of Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner tonight. They don’t have any significant injuries for the upcoming game.
Starting 5 for the Golden State Warriors
Guard – Stephen Curry
Guard – Kelly Oubre Jr
Center – Andrew Wiggins
Forward – Draymond Green
Forward – Kevon Looney
Preview | Indiana Pacers
The Pacers started the season with an 11-7 run. But just one win in seven games halted their progress, and they now find themselves with a 15-14 record. Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon have been leading the team with their offense, while Myles Turner is stepping up as their defensive anchor. The loss of Victor Oladipo has hurt them, but they are still #4 in the East.

They don’t have any new injuries, but will have to wait a few more weeks until T. J. Warren and Caris LeVert can return. That will further boost their offense and strengthen them for the playoffs.
Starting 5 for the Indiana Pacers
Guard – Malcolm Brogdon
Guard – Justin Holiday
Center – Doug McDermott
Forward – Domantas Sabonis
Forward – Myles Turner
Predictions | Warriors vs Pacers
The Pacers have shown promise so far, but is unlikely they come out on top tonight. Looney and Wiseman returning gives the Warriors the edge and Curry’s return makes them the favorites. If the Pacers can hold down Draymond from running the show, they could have a slight chance, but expect the Warriors to win this battle.
