Spurs are Dominating Series With Pacers
Bettors of the San Antonio Spurs are always pleased to see the Indiana Pacers on the schedule, and for good reason. In the last 16 matchups between the clubs, San Antonio is 15-1 SU. They’ll renew acquaintances Monday in Indianapolis.
Despite being overshadowed by the high-flying Golden State Warriors, the Spurs have been a fantastic bet all season long and are particularly excelling away from home. Tim Duncan and company can extend their longest road winning streak in two seasons by picking up a seventh consecutive triumph away from AT&T Center.
A big reason for the Spurs’ run has been some strong defensive intensity in the second half of games. San Antonio has allowed an average of 36.7 points after halftime in three games this month, including just 13 points in the third quarter during Saturday’s 104-94 victory over Sacramento.
Home court advantage has been non-existent for the Pacers when it comes to covering the spread in front of their hometown fans. Indy is an ugly 0-5 ATS in its previous five at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
