TOP PICK

WIN
Suns vs. Pacers
Suns -8.5
ANALYSIS
We are backing Phoenix to exploit an Indiana defense currently ranking bottom-5 in efficiency and missing stars Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) and Pascal Siakam (Knee). The Pacers were officially eliminated from playoff contention on March 11 and enter today on a 10-game losing streak, including a 4-30 record in games decided by double digits this season. With Devin Booker healthy and leading a Suns squad that recently dismantled Milwaukee 129-114, Phoenix is primed to repeat the 35-point margin from their previous head-to-head meeting.
Key Data
Suns +9.2 net rating with top 3 players active; Pacers bottom 5 in defensive efficiency against perimeter wings.
OUTCOME
Phoenix Suns 123 - Indiana Pacers 108
