Wizards at Pacers picks and predictions
Prediction
Pacers 125, Wizards 111
PASS.
There’s no playable wager here. The Pacers (-350) should win handily, but are too expensive to consider.
BET PACERS +8.5 (-105).
The Pacers have been a favorite just twice in the last calendar month, and gone 2-0 ATS in those contests. Indiana is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 home games as well.
The Wizards will be short multiple key players, and their defense has consistently been among the worst in the NBA, allowing at least 130 points in 3 straight games. Washington is 1-5 ATS as a single-digit underdog this season.
Take PACERS +8.5 (-105).
BET OVER 232.5 (-115).
The Wizards have gone Over in 3 straight games and are 15-8 O/U this season. They have had some success offensively, averaging 121 points per game across their last 2 contests.
The Pacers have scored at least 119 points in 3 of their last 5 games, and they have given up at least 115 in 3 as well. With Washington ranking fifth and Indiana 13th in pace, expect a high-tempo game.
Back OVER 232.5 (-115).
