PREVIEW: The Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers will lock horns in NBA action at Chase Center on Sunday, with tipoff at 8:30PM ET. The Indiana Pacers have been in terrible form as they've lost eight of their first nine games and they will be looking to arrest a three-game skid , while the Warriors have dropped their last two games and four of their last five. Despite leading the league in rebounds at 48.9 per game, the Pacers' ball movement has been poor, averaging only 23.3 assists, the second-lowest mark in the NBA —a stark contrast to the Warriors' strength in this area. The Warriors rank third in high-frequency three-point shooting at 48.6 percent of their attempts, while their passing ranks among the league's best at fifth , giving them a considerable advantage in spacing and offensive flow. The Pacers have never lost in Chase Center since the building opened in the fall of 2019, going 6-0 in the building, with their last road loss to the Warriors coming on March 21, 2019, and Indiana has won its last four games against the Warriors. However, the Warriors could be without Steph Curry, who is listed as questionable with illness , a potentially significant factor in their ability to protect their home court. The Pacers' defense struggles against shots attacking the rim, ranking 28th in that category , which could prove problematic against Golden State's versatile offensive arsenal. With depth concerns on both sides and contrasting trends heading into this matchup, expect a game where execution and health status will ultimately determine which squad emerges victorious.
