Through 3 Quarters
The Los Angeles Lakers are just one quarter away from delivering their fans the win they’ve been expecting. Either team is in a position to win, but they lead against the Indiana Pacers 81-76.
Small forward LeBron James has led the way so far for Los Angeles, as he has 22 points and four assists in addition to eight rebounds. Indiana has been relying on point guard Malcolm Brogdon, who has 19 points and six assists along with four boards, and power forward Domantas Sabonis, who has 13 points and five assists in addition to seven rebounds. A double-double would be Sabonis’ third in a row.
This is the first time the Lakers have been ahead going into the fourth quarter in the past five games.

What to Know
The Indiana Pacers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers and are hoping to record their first win since Aug. 8 of 2020. The Pacers will hit the road for the second straight game as they head to Crypto.com Arena at 10:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Los Angeles will be strutting in after a victory while Indiana will be stumbling in from a loss.
Indiana was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Monday as they fell 139-133 to the Los Angeles Clippers. A silver lining for Indiana was the play of shooting guard Chris Duarte, who had 24 points and six assists in addition to seven boards. Duarte hadn’t helped his team much against the Phoenix Suns last week, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
Meanwhile, even if it wasn’t a dominant performance, the Lakers beat the Utah Jazz 101-95 on Monday. It was another big night for Los Angeles’ small forward LeBron James, who had 25 points and seven assists along with seven rebounds.
Indiana is expected to lose this next one by 5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 11-4 against the spread when expected to lose.
Indiana’s defeat took them down to 15-29 while Los Angeles’ victory pulled them up to 22-22. We’ll see if Indiana can steal the Lakers’ luck or if Los Angeles records another win instead.
