Houston Rockets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers have been hit or miss this season, and now they have a laundry list of injuries. The Pacers are likely going to be without Turner, Nesmith, Nembhard, and others. The Houston Rockets are a young, talented team starting to figure things out with wins in 7 of their last 9 games, and they’re 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. This line is what it is for a reason. Give me the Rockets in a comfortable home win.
