San Antonio Spurs vs Indiana Pacers Betting Analysis
It’s a nice 8-1 run in the NBA for us after going 2-0 last night, and we have two plays up for tonight here: http://wt.buzz/al
The Spurs are coming off a win…you read that correct…over Utah, and the Pacers have won three out of four, but we have some injuries to deal with tonight.
Haliburton is questionable with a calf strain, and he’ll only play unless he’s feeling great as there’s no reason for the Pacers to risk anything with him, and the Spurs are getting incredibly thin at guard as Branham went out last game.
Spurs Win!!!! Spurs Win!!!!
The Spurs got their second win in the last 23 games, and I’m sure Spurs fans and management weren’t very happy about it.
They have a very unique look ahead spot as they have back to back games against Rockets, two teams that may legit be trying to lose both games on purpose.
There’s really not much else to say about the Spurs as you’re not going to be betting on them to win, and they are almost as bad ATS as they’re 25-37 for the season, and 2-8 their last 10.
Tre Jones and Vassell are back in the lineup just as Branham got hurt, but I don’t think it will make that much difference for them. Over the last 15 games they are the worst team in offensive rating, and they are 5th worst in defensive rating.
What Is The Pacers Plan?
As a Pacers fan, I fear that they are in no-mans land with what to do this season. They surprised everyone with a good start to the season, and instead of trading Turner and Hield, they extended Turner and appear to be holding on to Buddy.
Haliburton’s injury in the middle of the season stopped their momentum, and I don’t think they know if they want to tank or make a run at the play-in game. They’ve won three out of four with their loss being an OT loss to Boston.
They have a high ceiling as they have beat elite teams, but they can also play down to their competition. I don’t see them losing to San Antonio, but I’m also not excited about taking them -6 points without Haliburton.
They are only 3-7 ATS their last 10 road games so laying points on the road with Indy has been a bad investment.
San Antonio Spurs vs Indiana Pacers Player Prop Prediction
Despite the Spurs struggle on defense, I’ll take the under here. If Haliburton ends up being out or not 100% the Pacers offense will struggle, even against San Antonio.
San Antonio’s offense is putrid as they’ve scored 110 or fewer in five out of six, and they struggle against bigs so expect Myles Turner to control the rebounding edge for Indiana.
The other aspect about this game is that Indy has really slowed down their pace as they are the 8th slowest paced team the last five games. A lot has to go right for these teams to get to 238 points, I don’t see it I’ll take the under.
Prediction: Under 237
