Indiana Pacers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction & Preview - 1/26/2026


The Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks will meet in an Eastern Conference NBA matchup on Monday afternoon in Atlanta. This early tip-off comes between two teams that are under .500 in the Eastern Conference, but have more than enough talent to make for an exciting game. Here, I've broken down all the action and you can find my Pacers vs Hawks prediction below.
Pick: Pacers +5.5 ATS PRO
Confidence: 3/5

Score Projection: Indiana 115 – Atlanta 118
Win Probability: Indiana 32%, Atlanta 68%
Both of these teams are hard to read right now. The Pacers just knocked off the defending champions in Oklahoma City and looked incredible offensively in that game, while the Hawks are missing multiple starters. I'm going to take the points with the Pacers here, as they have looked better with some of their key contributors back on the floor. But this game could go in any number of directions as far as I'm concerned on Monday afternoon in the ATL.
