They’re set to light up the court at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, 7PM sharp – make sure you’re glued to your screens! While the Lakers are trailing by 4.5 games in the wild, wild West, the Pacers are playing catch-up too, lagging by 5.5 games in the East. Betting enthusiasts, take note – the over/under is pegged at a tantalizing 243.5, with the Lakers strutting in at 2.5 and the Pacers holding the fort at -2.5.
