The NBA season’s biggest trade only slightly shifted the futures market, as the Indiana Pacers remain a longshot after acquiring two-time All-Star Pascal Siakam.
FanDuel lowered Indy’s championship odds from a 100-to-1 to 65-to-1 but the Pacers still have 16 teams with shorter odds. The Pacers currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference standings with a 23-17 record but are within a game of the fourth and eighth seeds.
The 29-year-old Siakam is averaging 22.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists and now joins an offense that leads the league in points and efficiency. He also will form a potent tandem with point guard Tyrese Haliburton, who leads the NBA with 12.5 APG.
