The Brooklyn Nets have the talent to blow the doors off in this spot, but their defense has a ways to go, and we’re still waiting for this team to find its footing. The Indiana Pacers have issues of their own, but they’re finding ways to win here and there, and that includes a 9-point victory over these Nets on Saturday where they were 11-point underdogs. The Pacers made 23 threes in that game. I have to take the road dog, given the constant struggles of these Nets and how Saturday’s clash played out.
