<h2>
Los Angeles Lakers at Indiana Pacers Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Los Angeles Lakers</b>
</p>
<p>
The Lakers step into this contest of the heels of a 115-101 loss on the road in Oakland against the reigning and defending NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers managed to secure a cover at the final bell with a significant lean by the betting public catapulting the Warriors to a 14.5-point favorite at the close.
</p>
<p>
<b>Indiana Pacers</b>
</p>
<p>
The Pacers enter into this affair off their second consecutive win which was earned on the road yesterday in the Big Easy. The Pacers defeated the Pelicans 104-102 and failed to cover as a 3.5-point favorite as a result. This match is Indiana's first home game since embarking on a four-game road trip.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Los Angeles<br />
</h2>
<p>
Though the Lakers bode the services of LeBron James, they remain a lowly team on the road this season with an 11-14 SU record outside of Los Angeles. Factoring in travel rust from traveling across two time zones and nearly 2,000 miles to play this game, the Lakers are in a position to let-down against a Pacers team eager to be home on their own floor.
</p>
<h2>
Reasons To Back Indiana<br />
</h2>
<p>
The injury to star Shooting Guard Victor Oladpio undoubtedly put a huge dent in the ceiling of this franchise. However, the fact remains that the Pacers feature plenty of talent in their roles, including veteran shooter Tyreke Evans who will fill the void left by Oladipo. The Pacers also remain the second-best defensive team in the NBA giving up 103.7 points per game which will make them a tough out no matter what. Given the fact the Lakers own the 22nd ranked scoring defense giving up 112.1 points per game, this 8.4-point swing combined with home court advantage puts Indiana in position to not only cover here but pull a convincing upset.
