Washington Wizards Team News
The Wizards entered this season very well and are on a score of 3:1, and they want to continue this series of good results. Coach Wes Unseld Jr, son of Bullets legend, has fielded a very interesting team this season. First of all, it is a powerful attacking team, but Unseld makes a lot of demands on defense, as shown by the defensive ratings of the team from the capital of the USA!
This season, as well as previous seasons, the main player will be one of the best and most consistent forwards in the league, Bradley Beal, who has a good support staff this season. He gets the most help from Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis. Unseld has found a role for Porzingis, and the Latvian “doesn’t seem lost for time in space”, as he was with the Mavs and Knicks.
The guys from Denver, Will Barton and Monte Morris, arrived in the team, who can, above all, expand the rotation, and bring points from the bench. There is also excellent spot up shooter Delon Wright who arrived from Atlanta. The Wizards play fast basketball, just like the Pacers, and here we expect a real shooting showdown.
Indiana Pacers Team News
The team, led by the experienced Rick Carlisle, has started rebuilding this season, and the next couple of seasons will be very difficult for Pacers fans. That’s how they entered the new season, with a 1-4 record and a modest game.
Perhaps the most important move they made before the deadline last season was the trade in which they got Buddy Hield and Tyrese Haliburton, who have already become real leaders this season, and will be so in the coming seasons as well. Buddy is a player who, when he enters the series, is unstoppable, and one of the best three-point shooters in the entire league, but he is not constant.
They did a great job in the Draft because they picked up potential rookie of the year Benndedict Mathurin, who is one of the readiest players in this Draft class, from 6 spots. The Pacers have a lot of problems defensively, and that will be their biggest problem against the attacking Wizards. The question is whether they have enough ammunition to fight with the Wizards, in terms of width and quality.

Washington Wizards vs. Indiana Pacers Prediction
We expect the Wizards to take advantage of their home field, but also the fact that they are a much more potent attacking team and that they have more width in the roster, and that they will win this match.
For the Wizards, there will be no Kispert in this match, who has problems with the ankle joint, while for the Pacers, there will be no German national team member Daniel Thies.
