Prediction

Suns 117, Pacers 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Suns (-250) to win Thursday.

Against the spread

BET SUNS -6.5 (-110).

The Suns have been hot at home recently, winning 3 straight games by 7 or more points. They are 9-4 at home this season, while the Pacers are just 4-11 on the road.

Indiana has failed to cover 3 of its last 5 road games.

New Orleans Pelicans at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New Orleans Pelicans at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Pelicans (5-21) take on the Indiana Pacers (11-15) Sunday. Tip-off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set for 5 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Pelicans vs. Pacers odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Pels have lost 9 of 10 after a 111-109 heartbreaker Thursday against the Sacramento King, but they did cover as 7-point dogs. G CJ McCollum did all he could with 36 points on 6-for-11 from downtown. The Pelicans are grounded by injuries to F Zion Williamson (hamstring) and F Brandon Ingram (ankle), who will both miss this game as well.

The Pacers are coming off a 121-107 victory at the Philadelphia 76ers Friday. G Tyrese Haliburton had 32 points and 11 assists while drilling 7-for-15 from downtown. The Pacers are just 2-6 over their last 8 games. They’re 29th in the NBA in rebounds, and their defensive rating is a paltry 25th. Their offense hasn’t quite clicked on all cylinders thus far, which is why they’re off to such a rough start.

Pelicans at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 120, Pelicans 115

Moneyline

Each of these teams won on their home floor. NOLA won 125-118 Nov. 1 at home, and Indy failed to cover as 6.5-point faves in a 114-110 win Nov. 25. I’m not considering either side of the pendulum here.

Instead, I’m going with MYLES TURNER OVER 1.5 3-POINTERS (-125). He went 0-for-3 from downtown in the last game, but he was defended by the larger C Joel Embiid. He had 2+ 3’s in 4 of the 5 games before that Philly game and hit 2 3’s in both games against the Pels this year.

Against the spread

As mentioned, the Pels covered here Nov. 25 in a 114-110 loss, and I like them to do it again. Haliburton is so inconsistent and streaky for Indy. And while the Pelicans are really short-handed, G Trey Murphy III is having a breakout season with 18.2 PPG in support. Indy is just 2-7-1 ATS over their last 10.

Take the PELICANS +6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Pels are 4-1 O/U in their last 5 games, whereas the Pacers are just 3-3-1 in their last 7. The Over is 1-1 in this matchup this year. Neither team plays much defense, and unless they just can’t hit the ocean from a boat, the OVER 231.5 (-110) is the way to go.

Pacers at 76ers picks and predictions

Prediction

76ers 113, Pacers 104

Moneyline

PASS.

There is better value on the spread for Philadelphia (-250).

Against the spread

BET 76ERS -6.5 (-110).

The return of Embiid has made a big difference in the trajectory of Philadelphia’s season. He is averaging 22 points and 8.4 rebounds per game and opens up the floor for players like Maxey to have a bigger impact. Philadelphia has covered the spread in 5 straight games while Indiana has failed to cover in 9 of its last 10 contests.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 227.5 (-110).

The Sixers have hit the Under in 4 of their last 5 games including 3 straight. They have scored 111 or fewer points in 8 of their last 10 games while allowing 106 or fewer points in 7 of their last 10 outings.

The Pacers have hit the Under in 3 of their last 4 games while scoring 111 or fewer points in 3 straight games. They have allowed 113 or fewer points twice in the last 3 games.

Season series: Hornets lead 1-0 with 103-83 win at home Nov. 8

The Pacers beat the Chicago Bulls 132-123 Friday, closing as a 3.5-point road favorite. They snapped a 4-game losing streak behind G Tyrese Haliburton‘s 23-point performance. Indiana is 4-4 over its last 8 games, but 1-7 against the spread (ATS) in those. It is 8-15-1 ATS on the season.

The Hornets lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers 116-102 Saturday, closing as a 13.5-point home underdog. They were led by F Brandon Miller, who dropped 25 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field.

Hornets at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 118, Hornets 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pacers are rightfully a heavy favorite, but they are far too expensive to play here. At the same time, the Hornets have lost 8 in a row and likely won’t snap their losing streak on the road Sunday.

Against the spread

BET HORNETS +11.5 (-115).

Charlotte is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 road games, and its defense has taken a massive leap forward over the last few weeks, holding 5 of its last 7 opponents to 110 points or fewer. In the Hornets’ last 6 games, 4 of them have been single-digit losses.

The Pacers, while they still have playoff expectations, have let bettors down this season and are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games. Indiana’s defense has been atrocious, allowing at least 122 points in 4 of its last 5 games. It has failed to cover 3 in a row at home.

Back HORNETS +11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 223,5 (-115).

The Pacers have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games, and as noted above, they have struggled defensively, allowing at least 130 points twice in their last 5 outings. Indiana is 16-8 O/U on the season.

The Hornets have gone Over in 3 straight games, allowing at least 110 points in all 3. They are 8-4 O/U in their last 12 as well. Considering those trends, back OVER 223.5 (-115).

Season series: First meeting; Bulls won 3-1 last season

The Bulls beat the San Antonio Spurs on the road 139-124 Thursday, covering as a 1.5-point underdog. They were led by C Nikola Vucevic, who dropped 39 points on 16-for-22 shooting. Chicago has won 2 straight and 3 of its last 5, going 4-1 against the spread (ATS). It is 12-11 ATS on the season.

The Pacers, who are reeling with 4 straight losses, have played 3 straight road games, most recently losing 99-90 to the Brooklyn Nets Wednesday, closing as a 3.5-point favorite. G Tyrese Haliburton scored a team-high 17 points. The Pacers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 and 7-15-1 ATS on the season.

Pacers at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 126, Bulls 124

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bulls are a rightful underdog here as they have struggled for much of the season. While they could be played to win outright at plus-money value, look to the spread for a better value.

Against the spread

BET BULLS +3.5 (-110).

Chicago has rewarded bettors over the last few weeks. It is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 and 5-3 ATS over its last 8 games. It is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 home games as well. With a scorching hot offense that has scored at least 127 points in 6 of its last 7 outings, expect Chicago to be able to keep this close.

The Pacers have lost 4 straight and 7 in a row on the road. They are 0-7 ATS in those games. Indiana has been awful away from home, and one shouldn’t expect that to change Friday.

Play BULLS +3.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 247.5 (-115).

The Pacers are 15-8 O/U and have gone Over in 8 of their last 12. They have allowed at least 122 points in 3 of their last 4 games.

The Pacers rank eighth in pace while the Bulls sit atop the league in the category. Chicago is 14-9 O/U and 3-1 O/U over its last 4 games. Considering the style of play and season-long trends, back OVER 247.5 (-115).

The Indiana Pacers (9-13) and Brooklyn Nets (9-13) meet Wednesday. Tip-off from Barclays Center is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Pacers vs. Nets odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Pacers won 2-1 last season

Indiana has gone 0-8-1 against the spread (ATS) over its last 9 games. It’s coming off a 122-111 loss as a 3.5-point favorite at the Toronto Raptors Tuesday with the Under (237) hitting. G Tyrese Haliburton is shooting 41.6 percent from the field and 34 percent from 3, both career-lows.

Brooklyn lost 128-102 as a 7.5-point underdog at the Chicago Bulls Monday as the Under (232) cashed. The Nets have lost 3 consecutive games straight up/ATS.

The Pacers went 2-1 ATS vs. the Nets last season, with the Over/Under (O/U) going 1-2. In the final meeting April 3, Brooklyn won 115-111 as a 7-point home underdog while the Under (233) hit. Nets G Cam Thomas scored a game-high 27 points, but will be out Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

Pacers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 111, Nets 109

Moneyline

It pains me to lay this price with the PACERS (-140), but the Nets have lost 3 straight games by 8-plus points (after winning 3 straight Nov. 24-27). Seven of their key players are on the injury report, including 3 of their top 4 scorers.

Indiana has been even worse lately — losing its last 3 games by 11 or more points — but at least it is relatively healthy and its top 6 scoring options are expected to play. Give me the better and healthier team.

BET PACERS (-140).

Against the spread

Indiana doesn’t cover spreads; Brooklyn has too many injuries.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

Brooklyn is 0-2 O/U in its last 2 games and has scored 102 or fewer points in 3 straight. I don’t expect such an injured team to score 112 or more, especially after putting up just 102 against the Bulls, who are 28th in defensive efficiency this season.

BET UNDER 225.5 (-110).

The Pacers jumped out to a 17-point lead after the first quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, but were outscored in every other quarter and lost 136-121. Pacers PG Tyrese Haliburton shot 2-9 from beyond the arc and is hitting a career low 40.5% of his overall attempts.

Pacers at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 123, Pacers 117

Moneyline

The Pacers hold the fifth-worst road record in the NBA, certainly not ideal for a team that made the Eastern Conference Finals last season. On the flip side, despite a 1-11 record as the visiting team, the Raptors are a much stronger 5-4 at home.

However it seems like the books are half expecting a Raptors win. At +120 there is hardly any value in grabbing Toronto with their paltry 6-15 record. But given the tight spread if I had to chose I am backing the Raptors.

LEAN RAPTORS (+120).

Against the spread

As I said above, 2.5 points is too tight especially if you are backing the underdog.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Pacers are 10-1 (90.9%) toward the Over after a loss. Plus, the Raptors are 7-2 towards the Over at home (77.8%).

While the line is high I think these teams will blow past it.

BET OVER 238.5 (-110).

The Indiana Pacers (9-11) square off against the Memphis Grizzlies (13-7) Sunday afternoon. Tip-off from FedExForum is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NBA odds around the Pacers vs. Grizzlies odds and make our expert NBA picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; tied 1-1 last season

The Pacers enter after being punked 130-106 by the Detroit Pistons Friday night. The Pacers were 5-point favorites. F Pascal Siakam led the team with 21 points and scooped up 9 boards. PG Tyrese Haliburton added 19 points and 5 dimes on 8-for-13 shooting from the floor. The setback snapped a 3-game winning streak.

Memphis is on a tear with its fifth straight win Friday. The Grizzlies narrowly missed covering the 11.5-point spread with a 120-109 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. G Ja Morant had 27 points and 7 dimes while F Jared Jackson Jr. had 23 points, 8 boards and 2 blocks. The two combined to go 0-for-9 from downtown.

Pacers at Grizzlies picks and predictions

Prediction

Grizzlies 122, Pacers 110

Moneyline

I am with the Grizz here, but frankly, I’m a little surprised at how much discrepancy there is on the ML. The Pacers are 9-11 overall and 2-8 on the road, but they aren’t so far behind the Grizzlies to have a +200 ML. If you have a free bet, I’d consider it because they have a better chance at winning than their odds suggest.

I’m going with JA MORANT OVER 21.5 POINTS (-120). I looked at this and wondered why this number was so low. He has really not been aggressive this year. He’s averaging nearly 4 fewer PPG and nearly 3 1/2 fewer shot attempts but has a career-high 9.1 assists per game. Lately, though, he has been shooting more – dropping 27, 22, 20 and 25 in his last 4 games. It could be a sign of things to come.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread

The Pacers are just 1-8-1 over their last 10. They beat Memphis last January, but Memphis was without Morant and SG Desmond Bane. Memphis has also covered in 6 straight meetings.

Yes, I alluded to the Pacers having a chance to win this game. The smart money, though, is on the GRIZZLIES -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 1-3-1 in the last 5 meetings. The Pacers are 2-2 O/U in their last 4, and Memphis has cashed Unders in 2 of 3. I’m going Under here because the Pacers just aren’t the same team this year – at least not yet. They’re tied for 10th in the league at 114.4 PPG and 11th in pace. They’re also 21st with 12.3 made 3-pointers per game and 28th in boards. Both of those are going to have to be targeted at the trade deadline if they want to make a push.

Take the UNDER 244.5 (-115).

Pistons at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 121, Pistons 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pistons (+195) have lost 3 straight road games and haven’t consistently beaten quality sides. Don’t expect them to pull off the upset here. Indiana (-25), on the other side, is too expensive to play on the moneyline.

Against the spread

BET PACERS -5.5 (-115).

The Pistons have not played well on the road lately. Since Nov. 21 they have played and lost 3 road games, going 0-3 ATS. Detroit lost by 20 points to the Memphis Grizzlies and by 11 points to the Orlando Magic in its last 2 away games.

The Pacers have won 3 straight games and, despite having gone just 0-2-1 in those, have won 2 of those 3 by at least this size of margin. They are 4-4-1 ATS at home. Indiana has a more trustworthy offense too, scoring at least 114 points in 4 straight games.

Considering those trends, back PACERS -5.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 229.5 (-110).

If there’s one thing both sides can do, it is scoring points. Indiana is 13-6 O/U on the season and 6-2 O/U in its last 8 games. It has scored at least 111 points in all 8t of those and has allowed at least 124 points in half of them.

The Pistons are 3-1 O/U in their last 4 games and have struggled immensely defensively, allowing at least 122 points 3 times in the last 4 contests. With that in mind, back OVER 229.5 (-110).
