This victory marks the Pacers' first win against the Grizzlies this season, giving them a 1-0 lead in the series. The game showcased the resilience of the Pacers, who have struggled recently, while the Grizzlies faced a setback at home.

Over their last ten games, Memphis has a record of 6-4, averaging 118.2 points scored per game while allowing 118.6. However, they have struggled in their last five games, managing to win only once, with an average of 125.4 points scored and 112.0 points allowed.

In contrast, the Pacers have faced significant challenges this season, with a 3-6 record overall and a worrying streak of five consecutive losses. Their recent form has seen them average 110.9 points scored and 116.3 points allowed over their last ten games. Indiana's away record stands at 2-2, but they have struggled significantly in their last five games, failing to secure a win.

Historically, the Grizzlies have had the upper hand in previous meetings with the Pacers, winning both encounters earlier this season. In their last matchup on March 1, 2026, the Grizzlies triumphed with a score of 125-106, and they also secured a win on October 26, 2025, by a score of 128-103. However, the Pacers turned the tables in this latest encounter, demonstrating their ability to compete despite their recent struggles.

In terms of injuries, the Grizzlies were without Scotty Pippen Jr., who is out due to a back issue, while Isaiah Stewart was listed as day-to-day with a knee injury. The Pacers, meanwhile, faced a more significant injury crisis, missing key players including Kelly Oubre Jr. (calf), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Johnny Furphy (knee), Ben Sheppard (knee), and Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring).

The betting market, as reported by DraftKings, had the Grizzlies favored by 5.5 points, with a total set at 227.5. The odds for the Grizzlies to win straight up were -228, while the Pacers were at +189. The spread reflected the expectations for a competitive game, but the Pacers' performance defied those odds.

The conditions at FedExForum were conducive to an exciting game, with both teams showcasing their offensive capabilities. The scoring plays in the fourth quarter were particularly notable, with Pascal Siakam making crucial shots, including a 17-foot jumper and a 12-foot pullup jump shot, contributing significantly to the Pacers' late-game surge. Zach Edey also played a pivotal role, making key free throws that helped secure the victory.

As the game progressed, the tension mounted, and fans witnessed a back-and-forth battle. The Grizzlies fought hard to close the gap, but the Pacers maintained their composure in the final moments, sealing their win. This game serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of the NBA, where even struggling teams can rise to the occasion and secure a vital victory.

What we said beforehand

The game is set to tip-off on November 5, 2026, at 01:00 UTC. The Grizzlies have been performing well, recently winning four out of their last five games, with their most recent result being a narrow loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, 135-134 in overtime. This loss snapped a four-game winning streak that included victories over teams like the Sacramento Kings and the Portland Trail Blazers.

In contrast, the Indiana Pacers are struggling with a record of 2-6 and have lost their last five games. Their recent performances have seen them fall short against teams such as the Atlanta Hawks and the Miami Heat, with their most recent game resulting in a 108-104 defeat. The Pacers have averaged just 110.9 points per game this season, which is significantly lower than the Grizzlies' scoring average of 118.2 points at home.

The Grizzlies' home performance has been strong, with an average of 125.4 points scored in their last five home games, while allowing 112.0 points. Their overall home record stands at 2-1 this season. On the other hand, the Pacers have struggled on the road, holding a record of 0-6 in away games this season, and their last five away games have seen them average just 106.0 points while allowing 115.0 points.

Historically, the Grizzlies have dominated the recent head-to-head meetings against the Pacers, winning both encounters this season. The most recent meeting took place on March 1, 2026, where the Grizzlies secured a convincing 125-106 victory. The earlier matchup on October 26, 2025, also saw the Grizzlies triumph, winning 128-103 at home.

In terms of injuries, the Grizzlies will be without Scotty Pippen Jr. due to a back issue. The Pacers are facing a more significant challenge with multiple key players out, including Kelly Oubre Jr. (calf), T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Johnny Furphy (knee), Ben Sheppard (knee), and Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring). This could severely impact their ability to compete against a strong Grizzlies team.

The betting lines from DraftKings reflect the Grizzlies' status as favorites, with a spread of -6.5 in their favor. The total points over/under is set at 228.5, indicating expectations for a moderately high-scoring game. The moneyline shows the Grizzlies at -239.0 and the Pacers at 198.0, further emphasizing the disparity in confidence between the two teams.

As the game approaches, viewers should watch for the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency, particularly from Ty Jerome, who leads the team with an impressive average of 28.2 points per game. His performance will be crucial in capitalizing on the Pacers' defensive struggles. For the Pacers, Pascal Siakam, averaging 21.4 points and 7.4 rebounds, will need to step up to provide some offensive firepower in the absence of several teammates. Overall, this matchup presents a compelling narrative of a strong home team facing a struggling visitor, setting the stage for an intriguing contest.
