Pacers vs. Rockets Odds & Betting Predictions - December 30, 2025

Good to 17.5 The Rockets face off against the Pacers in a matchup they should control from start to finish. The Rockets have listed Alperen Sengun on the injury report as Questionable with a calf injury that held him out of the Rockets’ last game on Saturday. Considering their next few games are today against the Pacers, Thursday against the Nets, and then Saturday against the Mavericks. Now would be a solid time to give Sengun a couple maintenance days given the matchups. If Sengun sits it’s a great boost for Tari Eason; however, even if he plays this matchup is solid. Eason is averaging 16.3 PR on the season and he’s seen his minutes climb since his return from injury. The Pacers allow the ninth-most points in the paint and Eason is excellent in the paint and as a spot up shooter. He’s also had immense success against the Pacers with 30, 24, and 20 PR in his three career games against them. I’ll back Eason on Monday.
