Pacers at Suns: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Suns 119, Pacers 111

Money line (ML)

The Suns are still red-hot. They have only lost three games since the start of February and now have the second-best record in the entire NBA. They are 9-4 this season against the Eastern Conference while the Pacers have lost six of their last seven games. Indiana is 4-3 this season with a rest disadvantage while Phoenix is 6-3 with more rest than its opponent. That said, at -300, PASS on the money line and go with the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Suns have the best ATS record in the entire league at 25-11. They continue to run with the trend where they cover the spread when they win. They have covered the spread in every win and have not covered the spread in any loss. The Pacers have the second-worst ATS record in the league at 14-22 and have failed to cover in their last seven games. Take the SUNS -7 (-110). 

Over/Under (O/U)

The Suns are an even 18-18 O/U this season, but the Pacers have the eighth-highest over percentage in the league at 57.1%. Three of Phoenix’s last four home games have hit the Over. Take OVER 223.5 POINTS (-110).

Prediction

Suns 119, Pacers 113

Moneyline (ML)

The Pacers are favored to win at -143. Both they and the SUNS (+120) are two of the only three teams who are 3-0 in the bubble. The Suns are playing some of their best basketball of the season, while the Pacers are being carried by the scoring of F T.J. Warren in the absence of so many of their top scorers.

The Suns know Warren well, as they traded him to the Pacers last offseason. Expect the Suns to continue to play efficiently and pull off the upset with Indiana missing its top players. Take the SUNS (+120) for the small upset.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Suns will return a profit of $12 if they win.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Pacers are favored at -2.5 (-110) in this game. Both teams are 3-0 ATS in the bubble in addition to being 3-0 straight up. Indy is 26-19-1 ATS when favored, while Phoenix is 21-17-1 ATS as the underdog.

Since we like the Suns to win straight up, we have to go with them for the cover. Take the SUNS +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 228.5 points, with -110 odds on either side of the line. Both teams have played to the Over in two of three games since playing in the bubble. Both teams’ games have gone Over more than Under all season. The smart bet is to take the OVER 228.5 (-110).
