The Indiana Pacers are still without a win, and they’ll look to change that when the Golden State Warriors come to town.
Numerous injuries have opened up opportunities for Indiana’s role players, and my Warriors vs. Pacers predictions expect a third-year forward to make the most of his newfound playing time.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, November 1.

Warriors vs Pacers prediction
Warriors vs Pacers best bet: Jarace Walker Over 24.5 points + rebounds + assists (-105)
The third-year man came off the bench for the first three games of the season, but he’s started each of the last two. In those games, he finished with 23 and 31 PRA, logging 28 minutes in each.
Obi Toppin and Benn Mathurin are sidelined, and Andrew Nembhard is questionable. There will be plenty of opportunities available for Jarace Walker to score, rebound and facilitate at a high level.
Walker’s strength is his scoring, and with key scorers sidelined, Indiana will need all it can get from Walker in that department. He’s scored 17 and 20 across his last two games, operating alongside Pascal Siakam as the team’s top scoring options.
The Golden State Warriors defense has been solid this season, but the team has allowed 122.7 points per game at home compared to 122.7 on the road. The Dubs just gave up 120 points to the Giannis-less Bucks on Thursday.
Tonight’s matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse carries an Over/Under of 230 points. This should be a high-scoring game, and the Indiana Pacers will need strong performances from Siakam and Walker as scorers to keep pace with Golden State’s offensive attack.
I’m riding Walker’s hot hand tonight.
Warriors vs Pacers same-game parlay
This is a tough betting spot from both sides. The Warriors have played great basketball on their way to a 4-2 record straight up and ATS. Indiana has kept it close for the most part, and the team is 3-2 ATS despite being winless.
Even with a multitude of injuries and playing the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Pacers will be playing for pride in front of the home crowd searching for their first victory. I like the home team to cover as a double-digit underdog.
Steph Curry is averaging 27 points per game this season, and he’s gone for 25+ in three of his last four appearances. Facing a depleted Pacers team with the advantage of a favorable defensive matchup, I expect a productive night from the Chef.

Our "from downtown" SGP: Pascal Pops for Pacers
Siakam is averaging career highs in points (26.3) and rebounds this season, and he’s posted a double-double in three of five games this season.
He’ll continue to operate as the go-to option on offense and pile up rebounds as he leads a thin frontcourt rotation.
