Pacers vs Spurs Picks and Predictions
Prediction
Pacers 125, Spurs 115
Money line
The Pacers (-250) should bounce back after losing by 27 last time out, but it’s easier to beat markets that are -110 on both sides.
PASS. Place the points and/or bet the total instead.
Against the spread
The Spurs just covered against the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City, but they haven’t covered in 3 straight games since January 19-22. San Antonio could come out of this after beating a top 3 team in the West as a double-digit underdog.
The Pacers, on the other hand, are in a good position to bet after an embarrassing loss to the Pelicans. Indiana already blew out the Spurs in the November 6 meeting, and Sunday’s game could be very similar.
PACERS BET -6.5 (-105).
More less
The Under is 12-3-1 in the Spurs’ last 16 games, and Over hasn’t scored in consecutive games for San Antonio since a 4-game series against Over from January 19-24.
Indiana just gave up 48 points in the first quarter last time out and should be more focused defensively to avoid being embarrassed in a second straight game.
BET UNDER 243.5 (-115).
