Pacers at Nets picks and predictions
Prediction
Pacers 121, Nets 118
Moneyline
The PACERS (+290) are worth a look on the money line, as they try for the sweep of this 2-game set.
For a chance to triple up, Indiana is worth a shot, as it was impressive in a 125-116 win Saturday, and that was with C Myles Turner getting a rest.
The Nets haven’t played well as a team, and look a little disjointed out of the gates while playing terrible team defense. That’s not a great recipe for winning.
Against the spread
The PACERS +8.5 (-110) are a great play catching more than 4 buckets if you just aren’t feeling them straight up.
Indiana won outright as an 11-point ‘dog Saturday. The Pacers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games dating back to last season and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 visits to Brooklyn, too.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 237.5 (-108), but go very lightly.
The Over is 11-3 in the past 14 games overall for Indiana while cashing in 5 of its last 7 games on the road.
The Over is 5-2 in the past 7 games for Brooklyn while hitting at a 4-1 clip in its last 5 at home. The Over is also 5-1 in the past 6 meetings in this series, including Saturday’s affair.
