The Los Angeles Lakers travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday night to face the Indiana Pacers. While the Lakers are looking to start a new winning streak and cement their top-three standing in the West, the Pacers are fighting to snap a nine-game home losing streak.
Los Angeles enters the contest with a 46–26 record, currently third in the Western Conference. Despite their impressive nine-game winning streak being snapped by the Pistons on Monday, the Lakers are the talk of the league behind the historic play of Luka Dončić. The MVP frontrunner leads the NBA in scoring at 33.4 PPG.
The Pacers arrive at 16–56, sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Indiana’s season has struggled with a brutal injury list, including the loss of superstar Tyrese Haliburton for the year. However, there is a glimmer of hope for tonight’s contest as Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard have both been upgraded to probable.

Head to Head
The Los Angeles Lakers lead the 2025–26 season series 1–0 following a 128–117 victory back on March 6. In that meeting, Luka Dončić dominated with 34 points, while the Pacers struggled to stop the Lakers’ shooting from the field. Historically, the Lakers hold a 68–35 lead in the all-time regular-season series. Los Angeles has won the last three head-to-head games and aims to secure the season sweep tonight.
Prediction
While the Pacers are getting key starters back in the lineup, the individual brilliance of Luka Dončić is a massive challenge for Indiana’s 28th-ranked defense. The Lakers’ offensive efficiency (1st in FG%) should allow them to exploit the Pacers’ lack of rim protection. Expect the Lakers to bounce back from their Monday loss with a high-scoring performance, pulling away in the third quarter.
Score Prediction: Lakers 121 – Pacers 111
