The Indiana Pacers, with a 12-15 record, are set to clash with the Phoenix Suns, who stand at 14-11, in a Thursday night showdown. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET at the Footprint Center, the Suns' home court.

Both teams enter the contest well-rested, having last played four days ago. This break could offer some advantage, providing players on both rosters with extra recovery time.

Recent performances show the Pacers coming off a solid 119-104 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, while the Suns edged out the Portland Trail Blazers 116-109. Both teams will look to build on these successes.

The Pacers have struggled on the road, dropping 11 of their last 15 away games, which could be a significant factor against a motivated Suns squad. Nevertheless, Indiana's Myles Turner has attracted attention in the player prop market, particularly for his combined points and rebounds. Bettors are eyeing the Under for this prop at 20.5 points and rebounds (-115), a trend driven by sharp bettors who sense value in this line.

As the Pacers and Suns gear up for a compelling matchup, fans and bettors alike will be keen to see if Indiana can defy the odds in Phoenix or if the Suns will maintain their home dominance.
