Trail Blazers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 125, Trail Blazers 118

Moneyline

Portland is 2-7 on the road, but the Pacers are just 6-4 at home. Two of those home losses came against the lowly Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Hornets.

While I think the Pacers are the better team, there is value in picking the Trail Blazers at these odds, even though they are the worse team statistically.

Maybe a sprinkle just in case.

LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS (+500).

Against the spread

If you like the Trail Blazers straight up then getting them +12.5 is a no-brainer. On top of that, Portland is 5-4 ATS as a road dog despite a 4-12 record straight up.

LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS +12.5 (-106).

Over/Under

The Indiana Pacers are the best Over team in the NBA, with a 14-1 record. While Portland leans towards the Under, hitting it in 9 of their 16 games, there are signs for a positive regression.

The Trail Blazers are on a back-to-back, and league-wide, teams on no rest have an Over record of 45-31. The Under is 3-0 in Trail Blazers games when they're on no rest this season, but this is a great spot for them to follow the league average.

BET OVER 239.5 (-112).
