The Sacramento Kings (28-37) wrap up a four-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers (30-34) Wednesday at Bankers Life Field House. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Kings-Pacers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Kings have the quick turnaround, as they topped the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-99 Tuesday night, and then play less than 24 hours later in Indianapolis. They failed to cover against the Thunder as 5.5-point favorites as the Under comfortably cashed.
The Pacers were on the short end of a 154-141 loss at Washington Monday, coming on the heels of a 152-95 win at Oklahoma City Saturday. The Pacers have also allowed 130 or more points in three of the past four, as their games have looked like video games lately.

Kings at Pacers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Pacers 129, Kings 121
Money line (ML)
The Pacers (-250) will cost you two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s risky business. Not only is that a poor long-term betting strategy, but it’s especially risky behavior playing a team that has been so awful defensively in recent games.
AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The PACERS -6 (-110) are worth a look against a Kings +6 (-110) side that flew in from Oklahoma City early this morning, and didn’t get a lot of sleep after a quick turnaround. Play the more rested home side.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 239.5 (-110) is the lean here, although this is a huge number. However, Indiana has coughed up north of 130 points in three of the past four, and both of these teams should run up and down the court in an entertaining affair.
