Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Regular Season Record: 23-23
The Indiana Pacers currently find themselves falling into an abyss that for now seems bottomless. Tyrese Haliburton’s injure seems to be the root cause of their problems, as he has been the team’s top performer this campaign with 20.2 points, 10.2 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. So, they will get to the court looking to avoid a seventh loss in a row.
Rick Carlisle has watched in pain as his team’s offensive output has declined, still averaging 115.3 points scored per game, but failing to surpass 113 points in five of their last six games. In addition, their defense continues to be one of the league’s most permissive, especially on the road, where they have allowed an average of 118.2 points.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 22-24
The Phoenix Suns’ problems may be even greater than those of the Pacers’, given that they have played without their two main stars, Devin Booker and Chris Paul, for some time now, which has led the team to a pitiful period in which they have won just three of their last 15 games, even registering in the middle a streak of six losses in a row.
The offense has been the main casualty of that tragic 15-game stretch, with Arizona giving up a miserable average of 97.8 points scored per game. If that wasn’t enough, the Suns’ defense has also looked particularly disastrous recently, averaging 121.6 points allowed in their last five games.
Even with all those worries behind them, the Suns may be approaching this game with a little more confidence after defeating the Brooklyn Nets, who were also at a critical moment, by a score of 112-117. Mikal Bridges and DeAndre Ayton scored 28 and 24 points, respectively.
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns’ offensive woes are more than evident, but they showed in their previous outing what they are capable of doing against vulnerable defenses. So, here they will have another chance to do so as the Pacers are not only terrible on their side of the court, but they will also be coming in having played on the road last night.
In addition, the Pacers have not looked solid offensively in recent weeks and being away from home only makes things more difficult for them, considering they have an 8-14 record on the road and have lost their last five home games.
With the Pacers coming in exhausted after playing yesterday in a tough Denver venue, we expect the Suns to manage to stand tall in front of their home crowd and record a second win in a row for the first time in a long time.
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Spread.
