Atlanta Hawks at Indiana Pacers Preview


In Indianapolis, we'll see two teams heading into this game with completely different mindsets.

The Hawks are already looking ahead to next season, while the Pacers are still fighting for home-court advantage.


A home win seems almost certain.


Indiana Pacers Form & Team News


The Pacers started the season a bit rough, but since the new year, they've really turned it around and started playing solid basketball.


In 2025, they've had a strong run with 10 wins and just 2 losses, moving close to the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference. Right now, they’re 26-20, only a loss behind the Bucks, who sit ahead of them.


After their trip to Paris, the Pacers returned with a split record. They lost to the Spurs 140-110 in the first game but bounced back with a dominant 136-98 win two days later.


Back in the U.S., they beat the Detroit Pistons 133-119. Siakam and Haliburton were on fire, combining for 67 points and shooting efficiently.


It’ll be interesting to see if they make any moves before the trade deadline. Myles Turner’s name keeps coming up, especially since he’ll be a free agent at the end of the season.


Atlanta Hawks Form & Team News


At one point this season, the Hawks probably looked better than many expected, but with Jalen Johnson’s season-ending injury, their campaign is likely over.


After seven straight losses, they’re now 22-26, sitting in 9th place in the Eastern Conference. There’s a real chance they might miss out on the play-in tournament altogether.


That might actually be better for them, though, as with this roster, they realistically have no shot at a deep playoff run.


The Hawks are expected to be one of the more active teams before the trade deadline, with Bogdan Bogdanović, Clint Capela, and possibly even De’Andre Hunter on the block. In return, they’ll likely be looking for young prospects and high draft picks.


Head to Head


It’s interesting that this will be the first of three matchups between these two teams this season.

In their last official meeting, the Indiana Pacers won in a blowout, 157-115, with an incredible 72% shooting percentage on two-pointers.



Verdict


There’s not much positive to say about the Hawks in recent weeks. It’s clear that the management has decided to let this season slide, and more and more bench players are getting chances to step up.

The Pacers, on the other hand, are in full stride, and it would take something huge for them to miss out on yet another easy win.
