The Indiana Pacers are dealing with a ton of injuries, but they’re still finding ways to win games. And even with a boatload of injuries, this line is still only 3 points. The Atlanta Hawks are the most disappointing team in the league, something I’ve said a lot this season, and they win in the favorite role by an average of just 0.9 points. I want nothing to do with the Hawks. Give me the home dog.
