Nuggets at Pacers picks and predictions
Prediction
Nuggets 122, Pacers 118
Moneyline
Go ahead and AVOID taking the moneyline in this game considering the heavy odds for the Nuggets (-220) to win. The risk isn’t worth the return by taking Denver to win on the road against a competitive Indiana team.
Against the spread
Even though the Nuggets should be able to come away with a win, PACERS +5.5 (-115) is where I’m leaning in this game. Indiana has found ways to remain close in games and even win games. That should remain true Wednesday.
The Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games and they are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win.
OVER 235.5 (-112) is a fun wager in this game because who doesn’t like high-scoring contests? The Nuggets and the Pacers are top 7 in offensive rating this season, so points should be aplenty Wednesday.
The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between the Nuggets and the Pacers in Indiana. The Over is also 10-4 in the last 14 meetings overall.
