The Indiana Pacers (28-35) take to the road to face the San Antonio Spurs (15-47) on Thursday at the AT&T Center. Going into the game, the San Antonio Spurs are ranked 14th in the Western Conference, while the Indiana Pacers are in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. Neither team has clinched a playoff spot nor been eliminated either, so this game may produce some epic fireworks.

Form San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs had a rare opportunity to win in their last game against the Utah Jazz, with a final score of 94-102. This win improved their 10-game record to 1-9. They are 9-21 at home and 15-47 for the season.

The San Antonio Spurs are more of an average side for the offensive side of the game. Entering Thursday’s matchup, the hosts are averaging 112.2 points per game. On the other side, the home defense has been middle-of-the-pack, allowing 118.2 points on average in the last five contests and 122.4 points across the season.

Chances of reaching even the Play-In Tournament look unlikely for the San Antonio Spurs. Following their failure to advance past last year’s preliminary playoff competition, they’ve gone 15-47 this season. That leaves the home team 14th in the Western Conference and fourth in the Southwest Division.

Khem Birch, Isaiah Roby, Romeo Langford, Devin Vassell, and Tre Jones are set to miss the San Antonio Spurs game due to injuries.

Last year, the Indiana Pacers failed to qualify for the playoffs after a 25-57 regular season. They ended up 13th in the Eastern Conference and fourth in the Central Division. Their chances of reaching postseason play this season don’t look good either, with the away side 28-35 so far.
