Clippers vs. Pacers

Our efficiency-based projection is reinforced by the Pacers’ complete defensive collapse, as Indiana has posted a league-worst 127.1 defensive rating over their last 10 games while playing without franchise star Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles). With the Pacers currently 1-9 in their last 10 outings and missing key rim protector Ivica Zubac (ribs), the Clippers’ isolation-heavy attack led by Kawhi Leonard (27.8 PPG) should dominate a roster that is statistically the worst in the Eastern Conference.
