Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Season record: 12-8
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
The Pacers are on a road trip that will end in Minnesota and didn’t get off to the best start with a loss against the Clippers 114-100, but then they defeated the Lakers that counted on LeBron 116-115, and now they are focus on their game against Sacramento and want to come out with as few losses as possible in this tour that can leave them very well positioned in the East standings.
Tyrese Haliburton took the role of John Stockton and has been the team’s assist leader in 12 consecutive games. Averaging 10 per game, he is a passing machine, and the Pacers are making the most of it.
The idea is to not fall behind the Cavs’ and get as close as possible to Boston, which is still the best team in the NBA at the moment. The Pacers have won 5 games and lost 4 playing as visitors, so going to Salt Lake City is not seen as an obstacle for them.
Betting on Utah Jazz
- Season record: 12-11
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
The Jazz are still there among the first teams in the standings, but they are going through a negative streak. They have already lost 5 games, and each game they seem to be worse than the previous one. The clear example was the defeat against Chicago, where they fell 114-107, and to make the matter worse, they were playing at home.
They have five commitments ahead of them in Utah, and they come into this game in the worst possible way. Although they have Lauri Markkanen at a good level, the other players don’t help him much. The Finn rebounds and assists, but it’s a bit complex for him to lead the team alone.
The Jazz at home usually play well, and before their loss to the Bulls, they had only registered two losses on their home court. They can’t be letting so many games go there, but we insist, the mental issue is not on their side.
JefeBet Prediction
The Pacers arrive much better, but the Jazz have to leave behind their negative streak and since this run can’t last forever, we think Utah will take the win at home because they can’t be losing that much anymore. They’re not the Pistons.
To do so, they will have to help Markkanen who is pulling the strings of the team by himself. Jordan Clarkson has to improve his numbers if they want Utah to give a fight in on one of the most outrageous and problematic arenas in the NBA.
