Indiana Pacers (30-35) at Houston Rockets (42-25)

The Pacers snapped their 11-game losing streak with a 113-90 rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. The Pacers are battling with four teams for the seventh and eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Indiana will be facing quality teams in the next five games so they will need to play their best ball of the year. "The goal has been the same," head coach Rick Carlisle said. "We've been talking about making the playoffs and getting a win was certainly part of that equation. We're still right there. The schedule is difficult but we're going to have to earn our way in." The gambling public at SBG Global feels that the Rockets will earn a win tonight with most early money going on the Houston laying the points.

Jamaal Tinsley has been leading the way for the Pacers of late. Tinsley is having one of his best seasons. He is averaging 13.3 points per game and 6.8 assists per game. "I'm getting in good position to do things," Tinsley said. "In Minnesota, I was in good position to score points when we needed it. This (Atlanta) game, everybody came out hitting shots and did it on the defensive end, got the ball in transition, made other guys get easy shots and shots were going in so I really didn't need to be aggressive." The Pacers are wrapping up the Western Conference portion of their road schedule in Texas against the Rockets tonight and the Spurs Wednesday.
