Wizards vs. Pacers Preview
This is just too many points. Even with downgrades for guys like Khris Middleton out, and the Wizards’ very clear intentions to pursue lottery positioning, I make this is Pacers -14.
Hold your nose and bet the Wiz.
Trends:
- The Pacers are 6-9-1 ATS this season against teams with a 45% or worse winning percentage as a home favorite. They have failed to cover vs. the Hornets, twice, the Nets, the Blazers, and the Pelicans. Now, the Wizards are just as bad as any of those teams. But this is also 18.5 points we’re talking about.
- Here’s a weird one: the Pacers rely quite a bit on turnovers for their defense. When the opponent has a lower turnovers-per-game mark, which believe it or not, the Wizards do, Indiana is just 21-29-1 ATS (41%) this season.
