Suns at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 119, Pacers 112

Moneyline

The Suns have won 7 straight games and 4 straight on the road. They beat the Pacers, who have lost 5 of their last 7 overall, at home on Sunday.

Suns F Kevin Durant has scored 40 or more in 2 of his last 3 games, including 40 in the win over the Pacers.

The Suns should keep rolling but -190 is too much for a single wager. Include a Suns win on the moneyline in a parlay bet, but otherwise, PASS.

Against the spread

The Suns have not been a good bet against the spread this season at 16-26-2 ATS. Even in their winning streak, they are 3-3-1 ATS, including a push against the Pacers.

However, the Pacers have only covered the spread in a loss once all season. So precedent would say you should bet the Pacers on the moneyline when they are underdogs. If they are going to lose, they are going to fail to cover.

BET SUNS -4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The projected total for this matchup seems high. Their matchup on Sunday had 227 total points.

The Suns have not had a game in their winning streak reach 244 points while only 2 of the Pacers' last 9 games have reached that high.

BET UNDER 243.5 (-115).
