The Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Barclays Center. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Pacers vs Nets prediction.

Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers have been in fine form as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after routing the Nets in a 133-111 home win on Monday. Tyrese Haliburton led the team with 27 points and 13 assists on nine of 15 shooting, Jalen Smith added 17 points with 10 rebounds in just 16 minutes of action while Pascal Siakam chipped in with 15 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 51 percent from the field and 13 of 31 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 75 points in the first half to build a 36-point lead, before they took their foot off the gas in the fourth quarter and rested all their starters. The Pacers will meet the Thunder after this one.


Brooklyn Nets

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been in poor form as they’ve lost eight of their last 11 games overall and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting thrashed by the Pacers in a 133-111 road defeat on Monday. Cam Thomas led the team with 22 points on seven of 16 shooting, Trendon Watford added 21 points on eight of 11 shooting while Mikal Bridges chipped in with 19 points and six assists. As a team, the Nets shot 47 percent from the field and 10 of 26 from the 3-point line, but the writing was on the wall early in this one as the Nets were always in deep trouble after allowing an unforgivable 43 points in the first quarter alone. Dennis Schroder finished with just seven points while Dorian Finney-Smith scored just five points. The Nets will face the Pistons after this game.

Brooklyn Nets Team Facts

  • The Nets have lost each of their last seven games against teams that held a winning record.
  • The underdogs have covered the spread in each of the last seven games between the Pacers and Nets at Barclays Center.
  • Eight of the Nets’ last nine home games against Central Division opponents have gone OVER the total points line.

Indiana Pacers Team Facts

  • The Pacers have lost each of their last six road games against Atlantic Division opponents following a win.
  • The Pacers have covered the spread in each of their last nine games at Barclays Center against Eastern Conference opponents that held a losing record.
  • Nine of the Pacers’ last 10 games as road favorites have gone UNDER the total points line.

Pacers vs Nets prediction

The Pacers are still without Bennedict Mathurin, and they have Myles Turner listed as questionable, while the Nets are keeping an eye on Dennis Smith Jr, who is questionable for this one. The Pacers come into this meeting as the team in better form, they just smashed the Nets, and I can’t see anything but a similar result in this one. Sure, the Nets will come out with a much better effort, but the line is short enough for me to stick with the Pacers in this spot.
