Pacers vs. Nuggets Odds
Game Preview
The Indiana Pacers are 1-7 right now, playing only three road games. Without Tyreese Haliburton and Myler Turner (first injured, second left for the Bucks), the Pacers are not the same, plus, there are many injured players at the moment.
Right now, the Pacers are 27th in offense in the league with 111.6 points scored, yet their shooting percentages are pretty poor, 30th for FG and 30th for 3pts. If it weren’t for Pascal Siakam, who leads Indiana in scoring, rebounding, and assists, things would be even worse.
Nuggets are 6-2, winning all five games at home. They have three in a row right now, against the Kings, Heat, and most recently the Warriors, 129-104. Nikola Jokic was shy of one assist and a board from another triple-double, as he had 26 points, 9 boards, and assists each.
The Nuggets had 34 assists in this one, and their ball movement was excellent. Jamal Murray ended the night with 23 points and 8 dimes, while Aaron Gordon scored 18 points.
Pacers vs. Nuggets Head to Head
Indiana won in Denver last year, 125-120, while the Nuggets beat the rivals on the road, 125-116.
Pacers vs. Nuggets Predictions
Denver is on a roll at home, and the spread, which is 11.5 points, looks easily reachable for Jokic and the boys. Also, take Jokic to post a triple-double; this will be an easy one for the Serb.
