The Indiana Pacers pay a visit to the Denver Nuggets at the Ball Arena on Saturday night. Here’s a Nuggets vs Pacers Prediction. This article will include a Nuggets vs Pacers Pick.
Indiana Pacers Betting Preview
The Indiana Pacers have really been struggling so far as they’ve won just one of their first eight games. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the slumping Nets in a 112-103 loss on Wednesday. Pascal Siakam led the team in scoring with 23 points and 10 assists on 10 of 21 shooting, Ben Sheppard added 18 points, Jay Huff scored 16 points off the bench while Aaron Nesmith chipped in with 15 points.
As a team, the Pacers shot 41 percent from the field and 13 of 36 from the 3-point line as they poured in 41 points in the second quarter to take the lead into halftime. But they couldn’t maintain that pace and got outscored by 32-20 in the fourth quarter to suffer their most embarrassing defeat of the season considering that the Nets were 0-6 heading into the contest.
Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have been on a tear as they’ve won six of their last seven games and they will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after blowing past the Warriors in a 129-104 home win last night. Nikola Jokic led the team with 26 points, nine rebounds and nine assists on 12 of 15 shooting, Jamal Murray added 23 points with eight assists while Aaron Gordon chipped in with 18 points.
As a team, the Nuggets shot 56 percent from the field and 16 of 33 from the 3-point line as they jumped all over the banged up Warriors from the start. They were always in complete control after taking a 66-49 lead into halftime and leading by as many as 28 points.
Nuggets vs Pacers Prediction
The Pacers are still missing TJ McConnell, Bennedict Mathurin and Johnny Furphy, while the Nuggets don’t have any players listed on the injury report. It’s always tough playing the second game of a back to back set, but the Nuggets made light work of the Warriors and rested their starters early last night. So, I’m comfortable backing the Nuggets to rout this slumping Pacers squad.
