What to Know

The Pacers have enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. Having just played yesterday, they will head out on the road to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 p.m. ET on December 21st at FedExForum. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

The oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Pacers and the Hornets didn't disappoint and broke past the 245.5 point over/under on Wednesday. Everything went Indiana's way against Charlotte as Indiana made off with a 144-113 win. The win was just what the Pacers needed coming off of a 151-127 defeat in their prior match.

The Pacers got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Buddy Hield out in front who scored 25 points along with three blocks.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies finally caught a break after five consecutive losses. They skirted by New Orleans 115-113 on Tuesday thanks to a clutch driving layup from Ja Morant with less than a second left in the fourth quarter. The win was all the more spectacular given the Grizzlies were down 24 points with 0:40 left in the second quarter.

Morant was the offensive standout of the matchup as he scored 34 points along with eight assists and six rebounds.

Indiana's win bumped their record up to 14-12. As for Memphis, their win bumped their record up to 7-19.

Thursday's match is shaping up to be a blowout: The Pacers haven't had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 128 points per game (they're ranked first in scoring overall). It's a different story for the Grizzlies, though, as they've been averaging only 106 points per game. The only thing between the Pacers and another offensive beatdown is the Grizzlies. Will they be able to keep them contained?

The Pacers are hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. Anyone thinking of taking them against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last four times they've played Memphis.
