OVER is the story when the Wizards and Pacers meet
The Washington Wizards bounce into Indiana to face the Pacers and will try to win their third game in a row without all-star point guard John Wall. The Wiz have won three straight vs the Pacers but opened as a 3.5-point dog to make it four at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Pacers are a tough team to beat at home as they’ve won five straight in their building. Indiana is 19-10 SU at home this season and a lot of that success has to be credited to the play of first-time all-star Victor Oladipo. The fifth-year guard is averaging just under 24 points per game in Indiana and has helped push the Pacers to sixth in the Eastern Conference and only one game back of the Wiz in the standings.
For Washington, this is a chance for the rest of the roster to prove its worth while John Wall recovers from knee surgery. The Wizards are up and down when it comes to road games this season at 13-13 SU and can be frustrating for bettors to wager on. But they seem to meet the challenge vs the Pacers as Washington is 4-2 SU and ATS in the last six games in this matchup and 8-0 ATS in its last eight trips to Indy.
The total opened at 213.5 and OVER bettors have been making bank when these two teams collide. The OVER has hit in eight of the last 10 games in this matchup with an average score of 209.5 points per game.
