Today in the NBA, the Wizards welcome the Pacers in what should be an entertaining match at the Verizon Center. If you plan to watch Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Washington vs Indiana match preview.
Washington Wizards vs Indiana Pacers
The Wizards go into this one with a 24% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Indiana Pacers. Flip Saunders will be sure to keep an eye on the Indiana streak (L 2), but the key against Pacers will be containing Danny Granger, Troy Murphy and TJ Ford. The Wizards point differential is -7 this season (good for number 28 in the NBA), but not as good as the Indiana Pacers’s average losing margin of -0.4 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Pacers will need to play to their strengths and their 33.3 defensive rebounds per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Jim O’Brien’s team is 13-16 this season and today will hope to improve their 5-8 record away from Conseco Fieldhouse.
Washington have been dominating their opponents this season in the steals departement, with a 1.3 steals differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 8.8 steals average per game is 3rd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Jim O’Brien and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Wizards’ 7-7 home record.The fans in the Verizon Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Wizards vs Pacers online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 19:00 ET today.
