Pacers at Nets picks and predictions
Prediction
Pacers 117, Nets 107
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Pacers (-300) to beat a Nets (+240) team that is just 3-7 in its last 10 games.
Against the spread
BET PACERS -7.5 (-105).
Indiana has covered in 5 of its last 7 games including a 12.5-point cover on Monday against Brooklyn. It is 3-2 ATS in its last 5 road games and 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite.
Brooklyn is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games and has failed to cover in 3 of its last 4 games and 6 of its last 8 as an underdog. It is just 1-2 ATS in its last 3 home games.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).
Indiana has hit the Over in just 4 of its last 10 games and 1 of its last 3. It has scored 109 or fewer points in 2 of its last 3 while allowing 111 or fewer in 5 of 6 of its last 10.
Brooklyn has scored 111 or fewer in 7 of its last 10 and allowed 116 or fewer in 6 of its last 10.
While Indiana is more than capable of carrying the load for the Over, Brooklyn will not score its fair share in order for that to happen.
