The Indiana Pacers are set to face the Golden State Warriors in their 30th game of the 2024-25 season, aiming to return to a .500 record after a month. The Warriors, battling for a playoff position in the competitive Western Conference, will have All-Star forward Draymond Green back in the lineup after he missed the previous game due to an ankle injury.
Despite Green's absence, the Warriors secured a victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Green's performance this season has been solid, averaging nearly 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. However, he struggled in his last outing, failing to score or contribute significantly.
As the Pacers look to build on their recent form, they remain inconsistent and are underdogs in this matchup. Indiana's fast-break offense is led by Bennedict Mathurin, while the Warriors excel in rebounding, with Kevon Looney leading the way. Both teams are looking to improve their standings as the season progresses.
