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/Under

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.

Denver Nuggets at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Denver Nuggets at Indiana Pacers and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Nuggets (45-31) face the Indiana Pacers (25-51) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Nuggets vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Nuggets are coming off a nail-biting 113-109 win at Charlotte Monday. They’ve won 2 in a row and 3 of their last 4. Stud C Nikola Jokic had a triple-double with 26 points, 19 boards and 11 dimes in the victory. He should stand out in this matchup, too, as the Pacers don’t have the size to defend him. So, if a prop bet for Jokic to record a triple-double pops up, consider it lightly.

The Pacers have lost 4 in a row and 6 out of their last 8. They have a tendency to hang around games. They’re a dangerous team that just can’t close the deal most nights. They have 3-point losses to Atlanta and Cleveland and a 1-point loss to Sacramento in the last 10.

Nuggets at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 108, Pacers 103

Money line

Denver (-475) should win this game, but it hasn’t been nearly as lethal as it was going deep into the playoffs last season. So, we’re not going to advocate betting nearly five times the return if the bet wins. PASS.

Against the spread

As previously mentioned, the Pacers have been scrappy. They pulled out a huge upset over the Golden State Warriors in January and are 17-20-1 ATS at home this season. That’s pretty decent for a team with just 25 wins.

Conversely, the Nuggets have been awful against the spread. They’re 34-41-1 ATS but a little better on the road at 20-18-1 ATS. The status of big man Bitadze will loom large as his 7-foot frame is the only one on the Pacers roster that can make it less of a picnic for Jokic.

In their first head-to-head meeting this season, Denver edged out a 101-98 victory at home in November.

LEAN PACERS +8.5 (-107), but hit it harder if Bitadze suits up.

Over/Under

This 235.5 number sticks out like a sore thumb.

The Nuggets average 111.8 points per game and have scored 113 in back-to-back contests. The Pacers, who have played better of late, are dropping just shy of 115 over the last 10. That leaves quite a bit of wiggle room.

Go with the UNDER 235.5 (-108) for a full unit – do so quickly as it could go down before tip-off.

Nuggets at Pacers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Nuggets 118, Pacers 110

Money line (ML)

The Nuggets are banged-up right now but they have PG Jamal Murray and C Nikola Jokic, which is most important. Because they’re healthy, the Nuggets have a good chance to win this game, even on the road.

Denver has won three straight and four of its last five, improving its record to 20-15. I like the NUGGETS (-190) to win outright on the road against an Indiana team that is 1-4 in its last five.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Nuggets are favored on the road in this one, giving 4.5 points to the Pacers. They’ve been favored in seven of their last eight games and have gone 4-4 ATS in that stretch.

The Pacers are 0-5 ATS in their last five games and are 14-20 ATS all season. Take the NUGGETS -4.5 (-110) to win this one, winning with Jokic’s presence in the paint against the outstanding Myles Turner.

Over/Under (O/U)

In the Pacers’ last eight games, the total has gone Over seven times. In each of their last five home games against Denver, the Over has hit.

So long as Turner doesn’t shut down Jokic inside and keep him in check, I think the OVER 225.5 (-110) is a good bet.
