Grizzlies at Pacers picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 119, Pacers 116
Moneyline
The Grizzlies (-400) will cost you 4 times your potential return, and that’s risky business for a road team.
While Memphis is red-hot lately, this could still be a very close game.
PASS.
Against the spread
The PACERS +8.5 (-115) are a solid 7-2 ATS across the past 8 games overall, while going 6-1 ATS in the past 7 outings at home. Indiana is a respectable 4-1 ATS in the past 5 games against winning teams, too.
The Grizzlies -7.5 (-108) have won 8 consecutive games, but Memphis has failed to cover the past 3 outings overall. It is also 2-8 ATS in the past 10 games on the road against teams with a winning overall home record.
Over/Under
OVER 234.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit at the most.
The Over is 5-0 in the past 5 games overall for the Grizzlies, while going 4-0 in the past 4 games against teams with a winning overall record.
The Over is also 6-3 in the previous 9 outings for the Pacers, while going 6-2 in the past 8 when playing with no rest.
