Kings at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Kings 118, Pacers 112

Moneyline

I feel comfortable wagering on the KINGS (-135) all the way up to -150. Even with Fox sidelined for Sacramento, it remains to be seen if G Tyrese Haliburton will play the 2nd leg of a back-to-back after returning on Thursday for Indiana.

Against the spread

BET KINGS -2.5 (-112) based on how these teams have performed recently.

The Kings will run their offense through C Domantas Sabonis on Friday and they have other capable scorers in G Kevin Huerter, F Harrison Barnes, and F Keegan Murray.

Sacramento is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 meetings against Indiana and 6-3-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall. Meanwhile, the Pacers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Over/Under

While these teams can score points in bunches at times, UNDER 236.5 (-105) is my lean with Fox sidelined. Sacramento and Indiana have only exceeded this total twice in their last 10 meetings.

The Kings have gone Under in each of their last 5 games and the Pacers have also gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games following a loss.

Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Sacramento Kings (25-48) roll into Naptown to face the Indiana Pacers (25-47) at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Kings vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Kings limp into this one likely without three of their top players , including PG De’Aaron Fox and former Pacers PF Domantas Sabonis.

Rookie PG Davion Mitchell has stepped up in Fox’s absence. The ninth-overall pick in last year’s draft scored a career-high 28 points in the Kings’ last game, a 127-124 overtime home loss to the Phoenix Suns. The Kings have lost three in a row and seven of eight.

The Pacers have played a little better since acquiring a couple of shooters in the backcourt to replace Sabonis before the trade deadline. They have won two in a row and are 4-5 in their last nine outings.

Kings at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 110, Kings 107

Money line

PASS.

We’re not going to risk 2.1 times our return on the Pacers to beat anyone.

Against the spread

BET the KINGS +5.5 (-120) FOR A HALF UNIT, or you could wait until closer to game time in hopes of getting +6 or better.

Albeit with Sabonis in the lineup, the Kings took the Suns to overtime Sunday and almost knocked them off. This is a scrappy team that also posted 126 points in a nine-point home loss to the Milwaukee Bucks three games ago.

As bad as the Kings have been on the road (9-25), they’re actually 15-18-1 ATS on the road this season and 5-3-1 ATS across their last nine games overall.

The losses of Fox and Sabonis will ultimately be their downfall, but it gives Mitchell freedom to run the offense. They’ll be hungry from the 3-point line, which should help them cover the spread here.

Over/Under

UNDER 234.5 (-107) is an attractive play.

The Kings are eighth in pace of play in the league, but a lot of that is due to the speedy Fox running the show. Mitchell will have to slow things down to and be pragmatic with the offense. The Pacers are 19th in pace of play, and this figures to be a grind.

The Under is 5-2 in the last seven head-to-head meetings between these two when playing at Indiana and 9-4 in the last 13 overall.

The Kings and Pacers met in early November with the Pacers claiming a 94-91 victory, almost 40 points Under the O/U line of 224.5.

Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Sacramento Kings at Indiana Pacers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

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.
