Pacers at Suns picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 118, Suns 114

Moneyline

PASS.

I like Indiana here, but they’re getting too many points and would preferably play the spread.

Against the spread

BET PACERS +5.5 (-110).

Indiana has slumped lately, but it should match up well with Phoenix. For starters, C Myles Turner should be able to neutralize C Deandre Ayton, who will be a key offensive player with Booker out. Turner is averaging 3.6 blocks per game this month.

The Suns rank 22nd in the NBA in opponents’ 3-point shooting (36.4%). The Pacers are a 3-point-heavy team with G Buddy Hield. They rank 6th in 3-point field goal attempts per game.

The Pacers have rewarded bettors this season as they are 26-21 ATS. Despite a recent slump, back the PACERS +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 229.5 (-110).

The Pacers play at the 4th-highest pace in the NBA, and their 3-point shooting should bounce back given the absence of Johnson and Booker. They have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 as well, scoring at least l10 in 3 of their last 5.

The Suns have scored at least 115 in 2 of their last 3 and have gone Over the projected total in 3 straight, topping it in 4 of their last 5 as well. Considering both trends, back the OVER 229.5 (-110).

Pacers at Suns odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 111, Pacers 98

Money line

The Pacers have won two road games in a row as underdogs, but they’re not a good bet away from home where they’re 5-17 on the season.

The Suns are 17-4 at home and are playing great basketball. However, you have to wager 10 times your potential return on them so it’s a PASS on the money line.

Against the spread

The Pacers are 22-22-2 ATS overall this season and 6-4-1 ATS over their last 11 games.

The Suns are 25-19 ATS overall and have covered the spread in seven of their last nine games. Lately, they cover when they win. They have covered the spread in eight of their last nine victories and have covered the last three games with double-digit spreads.

Take the SUNS -11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Both the Pacers and the Suns have had more games go Under the projected total than hit the Over this season. Only one of the Suns’ last five games has hit the Over while the Pacers are 5-3 O/U in their last eight.

Phoenix has the second-best defensive rating in the league, so they will slow the Pacers’ recent scoring trends.

Take UNDER 219.5 (-108).
