Pacers at Warriors and predictions
Prediction
Pacers 119, Warriors 117
Money line
The Warriors knocked the Pacers out of their own building with a 131-109 victory on February 8. Haliburton collected 5 points during a difficult period for him and the team.
I’m going against the grain and predicting ROI. The Pacers beat the Warriors 3 times in a row before this laugh. The craziest stat of all, for me, is that the Warriors are only 18-18 at Chase Center – a place where they have been a challenge to opposing teams.
Take the value with PACERS +155.
Against the spread
I stick to the ML value and forgo the spread.
However, here is an interesting accessory to consider. Haliburton has played in 10 games this month, and he made three 3-pointers in 1 of them. He’s shooting just 17.6% from distance this month.
Take HALIBURTON TIRE UNDER 2.5 3 POINTERS (-155).
More less
The Pacers are just 2-8 O/U in the last 10, and the Dubs are 5-5. The Over is just 4-6 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. The under 248.5 hit in the first game, and that’s where I’m heading here.
LEAN LESS THAN 239.5 (-105).
