The Pacers (35-25) have split their first 30 road games and are tied with Milwaukee for fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Tuesday, Indiana connected on 17-for-42 from the three-point line during a 115-102 home victory versus Houston. 

Indiana G Tyrese Haliburton tallied a game-high 28 points on 9-for-16 shooting and dished out 15 assists. All-Star F Pascal Siakam chipped in 18 points on 8-for-19 from the field. Myles Turner and Aaron Nesmith added 16 points apiece for the Pacers, who were dominated on the glass by a 58-35 margin. 

The Atlanta Hawks are three games below .500 at home and trail Orlando by a half-game for eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Hawks (28-34) rank 19th in the league in offensive efficiency and are averaging a shade below 117 points per game. On Tuesday, Atlanta was outscored by nine points during the fourth quarter of a 127-121 home victory versus Milwaukee. 

All-Star G Trae Young led all scorers with 28 points on 9-for-24 from the floor and dropped 13 dimes. Caris LeVert scored 21 points (8-13 FG) in 29 minutes off the Atlanta bench. Dyson Daniels added 16 points, nine rebounds, and six assists for the Hawks. 

Indiana guards Tyrese Haliburton (hip) and Bennedict Mathurin (wrist) are listed as questionable for this game. These two teams rank in the top ten of the league in tempo, so the over is worth a look. The Pacers are a middle of the pack defensive unit and that will be their downfall on the road. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Hawks win 129-122.
