The San Antonio Spurs lock horns with the Indiana Pacers tonight at the AT&T Center in the NBA Sunday finale. The Spurs are 19-2 SU at home this season and haven’t lost in their building since November 10th. They’ll look to rebound from a close road loss to Toronto on Friday and opened as six-point favorites vs the Pacers.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of the Pacers’ last 10 games.
- The Spurs are 7-2-1 ATS in 10 home games vs Eastern Conference teams.
- Victor Oladipo is averaging 24.3 points per game this season.
The Spurs are in a bit of a conundrum with their roster due to Kawhi Leonard’s injury. They’re good enough to beat up on the below average teams in the NBA but are only 7-11 SU vs teams with winning records this season. And January has been a tough-go for San Antonio who hasn’t won consecutive games since the end of December. But the Spurs should keep trucking along as Greg Popovich’s squad has taken care of business vs the Pacers at home at 9-1 SU in the last 10 games with an average win margin of 11.4 points.
The Pacers are looking to avoid a three-game losing streak and are in the final game of their five-game road trip which saw them go 2-2 SU. The Pacers have been dealing with their own injury issues as center Myles Turner is out for his sixth straight game with a shoulder injury. They’ll need backup center Domantas Sabonis to continue to pick up the slack and he seems to be up to the challenge as he’s averaged over 15 points and 10 rebounds in nine games in January.
The total opened at 199 and an UNDER could lead to profit for bettors. The Spurs are the best defensive team in the league, only allowing 97.6 points per game and the UNDER has hit in their last five games.
