The pre-game matchup

The Pacers visited the Nets on Sunday, October 25 at 6:10 PM ET.

Last season (2025-26), the Pacers scored 112.4 points per game (27th of 30) and allowed 120.4 (25th). The Nets scored 105.9 points per game (30th of 30) and allowed 115.9 (17th).

Offensive rating, the points scored per 100 possessions: Pacers 109.0 (27th), Nets 106.8 (30th). Defensive rating, the points allowed per 100 possessions: Pacers 116.7 (25th), Nets 116.7 (25th). Net rating, the offensive minus defensive rating: Pacers −7.7 (26th), Nets −10.0 (29th). These are last season's full-season numbers because the new season's sample is still small; rosters change over the offseason.

The Pacers closed as 5.5-point road favorites, with the Nets getting the points at home. The spread opened at Pacers -7.5. The total closed 231.5, unchanged from the open. After removing the vig, the closing moneyline (Pacers -215, Nets +178) prices the Pacers at 65% and the Nets at 35%.
