Who was favored in Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers?

Atlanta Hawks were the favorite at DraftKings, moneyline -467 (about 82% implied). The favorite won.

In a tightly contested game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Atlanta Hawks emerged victorious over the Indiana Pacers with a final score of 108-104. This matchup was particularly significant as it marked the second meeting of the season between these two teams, with Atlanta now leading the series 2-0 after previously defeating the Pacers 132-116 on January 26, 2026.

The Pacers entered this game struggling, with a home record of 2-6 and a current losing streak of four games. Their recent form has seen them average 112.8 points scored while allowing 114.9 points per game. In their last ten games, they have managed only three wins, with their most recent outing resulting in a loss to the Brooklyn Nets (90-98) on November 1, 2026. The Pacers' home struggles were evident, as they have yet to win a game at home this season, posting an 0-5 record.

Conversely, the Hawks, with an away record of 4-4, have been more consistent, averaging 117.1 points scored and allowing 117.5 points in their last ten games. Despite a recent loss to the New Orleans Pelicans (99-121) on October 31, 2026, the Hawks have shown they can perform well on the road, managing a balanced record away from home.

In terms of injuries, the Pacers were significantly affected, missing key players such as Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee), Larry Nance Jr. (illness), Obi Toppin (coach's decision), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), and Ivica Zubac (ankle). The Hawks also faced challenges, with Jalen Johnson (ankle), Jock Landale (hip), Mouhamed Gueye (foot), and Henri Veesaar (knee) out, along with Kingston Flemings serving a suspension.

The betting market, as reported by DraftKings, had the Hawks favored by a spread of 10.5 points, with a total set at 226.5. The moneyline odds reflected Atlanta's status as the favorite at -467, while Indiana was listed at +360.

The game conditions were typical for a November evening in Indiana, with a lively atmosphere as fans packed the arena to support their team. As the game unfolded, viewers were treated to a series of scoring plays that highlighted the competitive nature of both teams. In the fourth quarter, Quenton Jackson and Jay Huff contributed crucial free throws that kept the game tight, while CJ McCollum's performance helped the Hawks maintain their lead.

Ultimately, the Hawks' ability to execute in clutch moments, including a pivotal 12-foot jumper by Onyeka Okongwu, sealed their victory. The Pacers, despite their efforts, could not overcome the deficit, and their struggles at home continued. This game not only showcased the resilience of the Hawks but also underscored the challenges facing the Pacers as they seek to turn their season around.

What we said beforehand

The Indiana Pacers will face the Atlanta Hawks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on November 3, 2026, in a matchup that both teams hope can turn their early season fortunes around. The Pacers enter the game with a home record of 2-5 and are currently on a four-game losing streak, while the Hawks hold a slightly better away record of 3-4 but have also faced their share of struggles recently.

In their last five games, the Pacers have recorded one win and four losses, with their sole victory coming against the Brooklyn Nets on October 25, where they won decisively with a score of 136-109. However, they have since lost to the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and again to the Nets, with scores of 110-102, 114-109, 145-125, and 98-90, respectively. This has contributed to a trend of averaging 112.4 points scored and 115.2 points allowed over their last five games.

The Hawks, on the other hand, have also struggled, winning only one of their last five games. They lost to the Houston Rockets twice, the Miami Heat, and the New Orleans Pelicans, but secured a narrow victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning 114-111. Their recent form shows they are averaging 110.8 points scored and 120.4 points allowed in their last five outings.

Historically, the Pacers and Hawks have faced off three times in the current season, with the Pacers winning one of those matchups. The most recent meeting occurred on February 1, 2026, where the Pacers triumphed 129-124 at home. However, they lost the previous two encounters, including a significant defeat of 116-132 on January 26, 2026, and a 108-128 loss at home on October 31, 2025.

In terms of injuries, the Pacers will be missing several key players, including Larry Nance Jr. (illness), Obi Toppin (coach's decision), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ivica Zubac (ankle), and Aaron Nesmith (rest). The Hawks will also be without Jalen Johnson (ankle), Jock Landale (hip), Mouhamed Gueye (foot), Henri Veesaar (knee), and Kingston Flemings (suspension). The absence of these players could significantly impact both teams' strategies and performance on the court.

The betting market reflects the competitive nature of this matchup, with DraftKings setting the odds at ATL -9.5, indicating that the Hawks are favored to win by 9.5 points. The total points for the game is set at 227.5, with both the over and under priced at -110.0.

As the game approaches, viewers should keep an eye on the performance of Pascal Siakam, who leads the Pacers with an average of 21.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and Andrew Nembhard, who averages 7.3 assists. For the Hawks, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is their scoring leader with 19.3 points per game. This matchup promises to showcase key players stepping up in the absence of injured teammates, making it a crucial game for both teams as they seek to improve their standings in the early part of the season.
