Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers’ 2025-26 season has been a complete washout, finishing 21-65 in the Central Division with little to build on as the offseason begins. Over their final stretch, the Pacers went 1-4, including losses to Detroit, Philadelphia, Minnesota, and Cleveland, with only a road win over Brooklyn offering any consolation. Scoring just 112.6 points per game on 45.8% shooting and 35.7% from three, Indiana lacked both offensive firepower and consistency down the stretch. The Pacers managed only 94 points in a home loss to the 76ers and couldn’t keep pace against stronger Eastern Conference competition. With the season now in the rearview, attention shifts to the draft and potential roster reconstruction. For bettors, this campaign underscores the importance of preseason roster assessment: the Pacers offered few reliable scoring options and defensive anchors, making them a fade candidate on most slates. The rebuild begins now.
