Portland is 19-27 overall and 10-11 at home, while Indiana is 30-16 overall and 13-11 on the road. This is the first meeting between the two teams this season, and Portland swept the two-game series in 2018-19.

The Pacers are 25-19-2 against the spread this season and are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games. The Blazers, meanwhile, are just 1-7 against the spread in their last eight games. Portland is favored by 2.5-points in the latest Blazers vs. Pacers odds, while the over-under is set at 220.

What you need to know about the Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers came up short against the Mavericks on Thursday, falling 133-125. Guard Damian Lillard certainly did his part, shooting 8-for-15 from deep and finishing with 47 points, eight assists and six rebounds. Trevor Ariza went for 21 points, Gary Trent Jr. scored 20 points off the bench, and Carmelo Anthony chipped in 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Lillard is fifth in the NBA in scoring, pumping in 28.3 points per game. He is also sixth in the league with 7.6 assists per outing. With C.J. McCollum (ankle) out Sunday, Portland will rely even more on Lillard to provide offense.

What you need to know about the Pacers

Indiana strolled past Golden State on Friday, whipping the Warriors 129-118. T.J. Warren went off for 33 points and grabbed five rebounds. Warren enters Sunday’s matchup averaging 18.3 points per game, and he’s been a major factor in Indiana’s recent success. The Pacers have won two straight games and seven of their last eight to stay within shouting distance of Milwaukee in the Central Division.

However, Indiana has struggled mightily against the Trail Blazers recently. In fact, the Pacers are just 1-9 in their last 10 meetings against Portland.
