Betting on the Brooklyn Nets
The Nets have started to perform a bit more like the team they are expected to be. However, while they are fourth in the Eastern Conference, they still have some fine-tuning to do to seriously compete for a direct playoff spot.
One of those aspects is their offensive production, which averages only 111.3 points per game, a bit low for a team that has very talented offensive players like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and is expected to improve now that they will have Ben Simmons back.
Nevertheless, it is also fair to highlight what they have done defensively, given that they average 110.3 points allowed per game (10th best in the NBA). And it was that defense that helped them hold off the Atlanta Hawks in their most recent outing to take a 116-120 win, with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving scoring 34 and 33 points, respectively.
Betting on the Indiana Pacers
The Pacers will try to continue to bounce back with the warmth of their fans after a tough road trip in which they only managed to win two victories in seven games. Their defense suffered the most during that stretch, which is one of the things they must improve if they want to start moving up in the standings, given that they average 116.1 points allowed per game..
That poor defense has been notably helped by the good job they have done on offense, where they average 115.0 points scored per game, with Tyrese Haliburton being the team’s top scorer with an average of 19.4 points scored, followed by rookie sensation Bennedict Mathurin, who averages 18.1 points per game.
With a double-double of 23 points and 11 assists, Haliburton led the Pacers in last night’s 111-121 win over the Washington Wizards, with Buddy Hield scoring a team-high 28 points.
JefeBet Prediction
While the Nets’ offense has not performed as well as expected, things could change this time around, as they will have Simmons and will be facing a poor Pacers defense that is one of the worst in the league and has already struggled this campaign.
However, it should not be forgotten that the Pacers have been at their best at home, where they have a 7-4 record and their offense has been much more productive, even against strong defensive teams.
The matches between these teams this campaign have been very entertaining and have had the offenses as the main protagonists, with two of them covering the Over, including the only one they have played in this venue, where they combined for 245 points. So, with both teams eager to win, we expect to see another game full of points.
Prediction: Over.
