NBA Betting Trends

Indiana

The Pacers are 1-4 against the spread in their last five road games, but 5-2 ATS in their last seven against Western Conference opponents.

Memphis

The Grizzlies are just 5-21 against the spread in their last 26 games overall and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games.

Prediction:

There are a lot of unknowns about this game. We don’t know how the Pacers will play without Oladipo, but they did pull away from Toronto without him the other day. Indiana was 7-4 without him available earlier this season. Memphis is just awful right now. They can’t score and they are facing a great defensive team. Indiana knows how to control tempo and has the better scoring options, even without Oladipo available.

NBA Prediction: Indiana Pacers -4.5
