Against the spread (ATS)
The PACERS +4.5 (-110) came up short in Utah by a 119-111 score as 10-point underdogs, and they’re 5-1 ATS in the past six as an underdog of 3.5 or more points.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 233.5 (-110) is the play as Indiana plays very little defense. The Pacers have allowed 119 or more points in four consecutive games and the Over has hit in three of the past four.
The Over also cashed in the first meeting with a total of 238 points against a 223.5 number.
