Preseason betting previews see the Indiana Pacers as a potential bounce-back team after a 19-63 season largely shaped by injuries. Tyrese Haliburton is expected back after missing the entire season with an Achilles injury, and Indiana has added Ivica Zubac, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Larry Nance Jr.; sportsbooks set the team’s win total at 44.5, with the over favored at BetMGM. The Phoenix Suns are viewed as playoff contenders but not a safe bet to return: Devin Booker leads a reshaped lineup that includes Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Miles Bridges and Mark Williams, while DraftKings lists Phoenix to miss the playoffs at +100. The previews emphasize uncertainty for both teams, with Indiana’s outlook hinging on its stars’ health and Phoenix facing a crowded Western Conference race.
