Sunday's busy NBA schedule includes a showdown between two 11-win teams when the Indiana Pacers visit the LA Clippers at 4 p.m. ET. Indiana jumped back in the win column with a win at home against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

The Clippers are losers of two straight, which snapped a brief three-game winning streak the squad had going before Wednesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Indiana enters this contest as a slim road favorite. They hold -126 moneyline odds and are favored by 1.5 points on the spread. The 220.5-point over/under is on the lower end of Sunday's slate.

Clippers vs. Pacers Betting Trends

  • The Pacers have gone 12-5-0 against the spread this season.
  • The Clippers have covered the spread twice this year when underdogs by 1 point or more (in five chances).
  • Pacers games have finished with a final combined score above the over/under nine times out of 20 chances this season.
  • The Clippers have hit the over 25% of the time this year (five of 20 games with a set point total).
  • Indiana sports a worse record against the spread when playing at home (7-4-0) than it does in away games (5-1-0).
  • Los Angeles has been better against the spread on the road (5-4-0) than at home (4-7-0) this season.

Clippers vs. Pacers Prediction & Pick

This clash pits two different styles of offense. The Pacers enter the league with the sixth-fastest pace, scoring the seventh-most points per game in the league as a result. On the other side is a Clippers' squad that ranks 21st in pace and rates second in defensive rating.

LA hung tough but could not secure a win without Paul George in the lineup on Thursday. The All-Star guard is not playing again on Sunday because of a hamstring issue and that proves the difference. LA has only won three games when scoring less than 104 points on offense. There's no reason to expect the pace to increase despite George's absence, but he leaves 23.6 points per game on the shelf.

Final Score Prediction: Pacers: 105 | Clippers: 97

Clippers vs. Pacers Best Bet

While I do like the Pacers to cover a slim 1.5-point spread while facing a Clippers squad missing their best scorer, it's the over/under that I'm really targeting. LA plays a pace that ranks just 23rd in the NBA and their over/under splits lead the league. LA's games hit the under 75% of the time this season, by far the greatest figure in the league. That trend continues on Sunday.

Bet: Under 220.5 Points (-110)
