The Pacers have won nine of their last ten meetings with the Rockets, but ironically, on Monday, no team will be as heavily favored as the 14.5-point Rockets to defeat Indiana, who are last in their conference with a 6-26 record.
It's clear that this season will be a transitional one for the Pacers. After finishing as the runners-up in the NBA, the Pacers now face uncertain futures due to this year's injuries. Furthermore, the team has made a worrying impression when attempting three-point shots.
Without Toppin, without Haliburton, and now without McConnell, these unrecognizable Pacers boast the second-worst offense in the NBA, averaging 109.8 points per game, and the worst field goal percentage in the league at 43.3%. With those numbers, the Pacers suffered their 26th loss of the year, losing 116-142 to the Heat at the Kayesa Center. Siakam was once again Indiana's best player that night with 33 points.
The Rockets, meanwhile, are fourth in the Western Conference. Durant scored 30 points and Reed Sheppard added 18 along with 5 steals in Houston's 117-100 victory at the Toyota Center.

Our Houston Rockets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Rockets haven't needed a traditional point guard to maintain a viable, decent offense. When Durant got hot, the Cavaliers tried double-teaming him, a tactic that proved even more beneficial for the Rockets as Durant repeatedly found open men with his passing.
Aaron Nesmith is the latest Pacers player to come off the injured list; coach Rick Carlisle was grateful to have him back, but that by no means precludes an overly likely Rockets victory on Monday.
Our prediction for Rockets vs Pacers is: Rockets -14.5.
