San Antonio Spurs vs Indiana Pacers Betting Preview
San Antonio heads to Indiana riding momentum after a dramatic comeback win over New York. The Spurs erased a 19-point first-half deficit and closed with a dominant fourth quarter, even after Victor Wembanyama exited with knee soreness. Julian Champagnie carried the offense, setting a franchise record with 11 made threes and lifting San Antonio out of a brief skid.
Wembanyama will sit Friday, but the Spurs still arrive confident. Their ball movement and perimeter shooting were sharp late against the Knicks, and the supporting cast responded under pressure. Indiana, meanwhile, continues to search for stability. The Pacers dropped another close game Wednesday and have now lost 10 straight, often struggling to sustain defensive intensity for four quarters.

Line Movement and Odds
San Antonio opened -6 and moved to -7.5 despite Wembanyama being ruled out, reflecting Indiana’s ongoing struggles. The Pacers sit at +7.5, but have drawn limited sharp interest given their current form.
The total opened at 238 and ticked down to 236.5. Bettors are adjusting for San Antonio’s slower pace without Wembanyama and Indiana’s inconsistent half-court offense. Moneyline pricing favors the Spurs heavily after Indiana’s continued late-game issues.

Matchup Breakdown
San Antonio’s path is spacing and shot volume. Champagnie’s breakout shows the Spurs can generate offense without relying on Wembanyama’s interior gravity. Their guard play improved late against New York, and they pushed tempo selectively when Indiana’s defense broke down.
Indiana remains vulnerable defensively. The Pacers allow extended scoring runs and struggle to protect the arc. When their effort slips, opponents get clean perimeter looks and second-chance opportunities. Indiana must play with urgency for a full 48 minutes to stay competitive.
