Nets vs. Pacers Prediction: Injuries Make Indiana -3.5 a Pass
Analysis updated November 1, 2026 at 7:30 AM CST
The Pacers won the first meeting 136-109, but Tyrese Haliburton and T.J. McConnell are among Indiana’s confirmed absences for the rematch.
Haliburton’s absence changes the rematch
Indiana entered Sunday at 2-4, while Brooklyn was 0-5, according to the Indiana Pacers’ official NBA.com preview. The Pacers also won 136-109 in Brooklyn on Oct. 25, making them the more likely straight-up winner at home.
Tyrese Haliburton recorded 24 points and 11 assists in that victory, but the NBA injury report lists him out with a left hamstring strain. T.J. McConnell, Ben Sheppard, Johnny Furphy and Ivica Zubac are also out. Aaron Nesmith is probable, and Obi Toppin is questionable. Those absences make Indiana’s -166 moneyline and -3.5 spread harder to justify.
Nets vs. Pacers betting pick
Brooklyn has lost to Boston and Detroit since the first meeting with Indiana. The NBA also lists Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Demin out, along with four players unavailable because of G League assignments or two-way status, so Indiana’s injuries don’t automatically create value on the Nets.
SportsPicksForum lists Brooklyn at +140 and +3.5. The total is 231.5, with either side priced at -110. With no confirmed starters or season statistics available and several rotation questions unresolved, the best betting choice is Pass.
