The Pacers are 20-4 at home this season and the Nets are 11-12 on the road.
The Nets are struggling on offense and in losing 6 of their last 9 games they have lost those games by an average of 17.7 ppg. That is not good facing Indiana, who has the league’s 2nd ranked defense. The Pacers need to play good D, as they only rank 28th in the league in scoring.
Deron Williams is the Nets 2nd leading scorer and he put up 22 points in the last game facing the Pacers, which Brooklyn won. He has struggled with his shot this season and he has failed to shoot 50% from the floor in his last 6 games. It is key that he and Joe Johnson knock down their open shots to open up the lane for leading scorer C Brook Lopez (18.8 ppg). [ad-6571516]
The Pacers have a solid frontcourt with SF Paul George and PF David West each averaging over 17 ppg and 7 rpg. Roy Hibbert (9.9 ppg) has struggled to score all season and while the team needs some offense from him he will be counted on to play good D on Lopez tonight and if he can keep the Nets’ C from having a big game the Pacers should be in good shape.
The Pacers committed 18 turnovers in their loss to the Raptors, which snapped their 14 game home winning streak and they need to be more careful with the rock tonight.
In some betting trends for this Eastern Conference match up the Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 5-2 in their last 7 games.
The Pacers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, and they have an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
Jason’s Pick: The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games facing the Pacers and that trend will continue. I think Indiana will win the game, but the Nets will not get blown out and they will cover the 8-point spread.
