The Indiana Pacers (0-4) host the Atlanta Hawks (2-3) in an NBA 2025-26 game on Friday, October 31, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Pacers are trying to stop a four-game skid at home after a rugged opening stretch that included a double-overtime heartbreaker to the Oklahoma City Thunder and two narrow losses on the road.
Recently, they lost to the Dallas Mavericks via a close 107-105 thriller. The Pacers' shooting in this game was choppy, as they shot 34.9% from the field. Pascal Siakam led the team with his 27 points and 13 rebounds, while Jarace Walker had 20.
As for the Hawks, they arrive off a 117–112 road win against the Brooklyn Nets. Jalen Johnson was impressive again, stuffing the stat sheet with 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard both came off the bench to contribute 18 and 17 markers, respectively.
However, Hawks star guard Trae Young sustained a right knee sprain Wednesday and has been ruled out for Friday. It was a sprained knee injury, but there's still no timetable for his return.
The Pacers will also come in short-handed on Friday, missing the services of Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin, Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Johnny Furphy, and T.J. McConnell.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
Indiana’s early schedule has been unforgiving, and their injury list is growing big. Their 0-4 start is as concerning as their injury report.
Meanwhile, the Hawks also have their own problems, with star point guard Trae Young sidelined with a knee injury. But with key cogs like Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis around, they have enough to turn back the short-handed Pacers squad. Our prediction for the Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks match is: Hawks (-2.5) cover the spread.
