Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers Picks and Prediction
Pick: Brooklyn Nets +4.5
Indiana G Tyrese Haliburton suffered a hamstring strain and is expected to return in a couple of weeks. The Pacers have won three straight games against the Nets, including a 136-109 road triumph a week ago. Brooklyn is the better rebounding team and will be motivated to play better in this spot. Take the points.
Pick: Over 230.5
Indiana used to play at a speedy tempo, but these teams currently rank in the middle of the pack in pace. The Nets are one of the worst offensive teams in the league and have been held under 110 points three times already this season. However, Brooklyn is 3-2 O/U and their games are going over by an average of 6.1 points. Take the over.
Final Score Prediction: Brooklyn Nets win 121-117
