The Indiana Pacers and Washington Wizards meet for the eighth seed. in the East. The Indiana Pacers took care of Charlotte in the first play-in game. As a team, the Pacers are putting up 115.3 points a game and are shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 115.3 points and their opponents are shooting 46.8 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from deep. The offense is led by Malcolm Brogdon with 21.2 points and 5.3 rebounds a game.

The Washington Wizards dropped their play-in game to the Boston Celtics. As a team, the Wizards are putting up 116.6 points and they are shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 35.1 percent from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 118.5 points and their opponents are shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from deep. The offense is led by Bradley Beal with 31.3 points and 4.7 rebounds a game. Russell Westbrook adds 22.2 points and 11.7 assists.

I think Indiana is still doing lay-ups. The Pacers looked good in the win but have a lot of injuries. Washington has plenty of veterans, led by Beal and Westbrook. Washington beat Indiana three times in three meetings this season and this game is at home.

Play on Washington.
