Pacers vs. Nuggets Preview
The Nuggets need this game for their lungs, but it’s a tough spot. Let's take a look at some trends:
- The Nuggets are just 45% ATS this season at home, but the Pacers are 44% on the road.
- Indiana was at home last game. Teams making the on-off trip to Denver after a home game are 66-72-1 (48%) ATS since 2019, and 47% ATS as a road dog.
- Jamal Murray remains questionable for this game. Denver is 8-5 SU, 7-6 ATS without Murray this season.
- This is just the second game this season for the Pacers without Pascal Siakam. They are 1-0 SU and ATS without him.
- The Pacers beat the Jazz 140-112 Friday. Since 2021, teams coming off a win of 20 or more as a dog of more than five points are 44-55-1 ATS (44.4%).
- Since 2022-23, Denver’s title season, the Nuggets are 8-4 SU and ATS when at home on more than a one-game losing streak
This is a Spider-Man-pointing meme of a game. The Nuggets are third in offense with the lowest 3-point rate in the league. The Pacers are seventh in offense with the 10th-lowest 3-point rate in the league. The Pacers are sixth in pace, and the Nuggets are seventh. Both teams play fast, good offense without taking threes.
The Nuggets are sliding right now, and their spirits are low. I make this game a pick‘em fully healthy. With Siakam out, I’m still well within the margin for the Pacers. Throw in a possible Jamal Murray absence and it’s a clear play on the Pacers.
I also love the over in this game. Denver home games are 64% to the over this season. Pacers road games are 54% to the over. I project this game at 244 total points.
