Warriors at Pacers picks and predictionsPrediction
Warriors 119, Pacers 106
The Pacers scored 135 in their season opener, but they have not scored more than 110 since then, averaging 106.5 points per game in their last 4 games.
The Warriors have 4 games scoring 119 or more.
Golden State is only 1-2 in away games, but the Pacers are 0-2 at home and have allowed an average of 134.5 points in those two games.
I don’t see an upset home win, but -550 odds aren’t worth the action. Go with the spread.
PASS.
The Pacers have only lost 2 games by double digits so far and are 3-2 ATS. The Warriors’ last 2 wins have been by at least 13 points.
The Pacers lost by 4 the last time they played on a back-to-back. They’re just too banged up.
BET WARRIORS -10.5 (-115).
Four of the Warriors’ last 5 games have surpassed 229 total points.
Three of the Pacers’ 5 games have not, and the Under cashed in the Pacers’ first with no rest.
BET UNDER 229.5 (-105).
