Indiana Pacers face New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA on 22 October 2026. The bookmaker line has Indiana Pacers as the favourite at 1.67 with New Orleans Pelicans at 2.20, which gives implied chances of 56.8% and 43.2% once the margin is removed.
Looking at all competitions combined, the two teams have met 15 times since 2021, and Indiana Pacers won 9 of them against 6 for New Orleans Pelicans. Their last meeting came on 19 July 2026 in the NBA Summer League. Recent results for both teams are missing from our data.
We pick Indiana Pacers to win at 58% confidence, because they are the market favourite after the margin is taken out. The head-to-head record leans their way and moved the market chance of 56.8% up by 1.5 points. Team news and rest details are not available, so a surprise from New Orleans Pelicans remains a real possibility.
