Wizards 125, Pacers 110
Moneyline
The Pacers and Wizards have both been underwhelming this season. Washington has the 5th best defense against the 2-point shot while Indiana struggles inside the arc, ranking 24th in the NBA in 2-point percentage.
The Pacers are good from the 3-point range, making an average of 13.8 per game. Unfortunately for them, the Wizards have the 9th best 3-point defense, allowing 11.6 per game.
The current line is quite chalky so feel free to PASS, though you could consider a Wizards 1st quarter spread since Indiana is one of the worst teams in the opening quarter.
