Pacers at Hawks picks and predictionsPrediction
Hawks 116, Pacers 108
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Hawks (-210) to take down a Pacers’ team that is 3-19 on the road this season.
BET HAWKS -5.5 (+100).
The Pacers are coming off possibly the biggest upset of the NBA season thus far after not only covering, but beating the Thunder, behind lights-out shooting from beyond the arc (16 made 3s). The Pacers have failed to cover in 3 of their last 4 road games and in 4 of their last 6 overall. Do not expect them to have a repeat shooting performance again on Monday.
The Hawks have covered and won in back-to-back games, both as underdogs. They have consistently been in close games and have found ways to come out on top. Against a struggling team like the Pacers, this is solid value on the home team.
BET UNDER 231.5 (-105).
The Hawks have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10, including 3 of their last 4 at home. They have scored 110 or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games and in 6 of their last 10, while allowing 112 or fewer in back-to-back games and in 3 of their last 4 home games.
The Pacers have hit the Over in only 2 of their last 10, scoring 104 or fewer in 5 of their last 7. They have allowed 115 or fewer in 6 of their last 9.
