Trail Blazers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 121, Trail Blazers 118

Moneyline

LEAN PACERS (-125).

While I don’t love the value, Indiana has three 1-point wins this season, so this is the more comfortable side given the tight spread. The Pacers are 13-7 straight up — and have won 4 straight — at home.

Portland is 10-12 on the road and hasn’t been playing its best basketball as of late. The presence of Pacers shot-blocking C Myles Turner should give fits to the Blazers’ top-scoring options, G Damian Lillard and Grant, the latter of which may not play.

Considering the recent trends for both teams, back the PACERS (-125) to win here.

Against the spread

PASS.

Take the juice and play Indiana to win outright.

Over/Under

BET OVER 235.5 (-108).

The Pacers rank 8th in pace, and although Portland sits 25th, on the road, it may lean towards a more Indiana-style game.

The Blazers have 3 players all averaging over 22 points per game, so the scoring options are there. The Pacers have gone Over the projected total in 5 straight games and have scored more than 120 points in all 5.

These teams rank 26th (Indiana) and 17th (Portland) in opponents’ 3-point shooting percentage, so both are strong offensively yet aren’t terrific at defending the 3, a recipe for points to come in bunches.

Back the OVER 235.5 (-108).

Portland Trail Blazers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Portland Trail Blazers at Indiana Pacers NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Portland Trail Blazers (32-28) drop by Bankers Life Fieldhouse Tuesday for a 7 p.m. ET tip-off against the Indiana Pacers (29-31). Below, we analyze the Trail Blazers-Pacers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Portland has lost five in a row (2-3 against the spread) and seven of eight including back-to-back losses to the Memphis Grizzlies Friday and Sunday.

The Blazers have slid down to the 7 seed in the West (seeds 7-10 participate in the postseason play-ins), 1 game behind the sixth-place Dallas Mavericks.

Indiana has won three straight following a three-game losing skid and is 3-3 ATS in those contests.

The Pacers are comfortably in ninth place in the East, 2.5 games back of the 6th-place Boston Celtics, but 3.5 games ahead of the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors, who are tied for 11th place.

Indiana trounced Portland 111-87 in the first meeting this season back in January. Pacers All-Star PF Domantas Sabonis scored 23 points on 55.5% shooting with 15 rebounds and 5 assists in the win, but he is currently out with a back injury.

Trail Blazers at Pacers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Trail Blazers 124, Pacers 117

Money line (ML)

PASS because I only slightly “lean” to Portland covering but wouldn’t lay it with Trail Blazers (-190).

Furthermore, the Blazers should be motivated to get some revenge for their embarrassing loss to the Pacers earlier this season and Indiana is without its only All-Star.

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

Against the spread (ATS)

Slight “LEAN” to the TRAIL BLAZERS -4.5 (-110) for a quarter unit since I’m not putting any stock in the Pacers’ three-game win streak.

Indiana’s last three wins have come against “tanking” teams such as the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder.

More importantly, the Pacers have the second-worst cover rate at home (8-20 ATS in home games) and are just 2-7 ATS with a minus-5.2-point spread differential as a home dog.

Over/Under (O/U)

TAKE OVER 234.5 (-115) for 1 unit and this is my best bet in Trail Blazers-Pacers.

Ultimately, Portland will figure out how to win this game and should execute better at the end of halves, but Indiana should put up a lot of points.

According to CleaningTheGlass.com, the Pacers attempt the second-highest volume of shots at the rim and the Blazers are 23rd in defensive field-goal shooting for attempts at the rim.

This was a big reason for Indiana’s epic blowout victory over Portland earlier this season as the Pacers outscored the Blazers in the paint 62-28.

Also, Indiana scores the second-most fast-break points per game and Portland’s defense gives up the fourth-most fast-break points per game.
