The Brooklyn Nets have not only won 13 of their last 14 tries, but they’ve covered 11 of their last 14 games and are winning their last five contests by an average of 10.2 points while shooting 51.5 percent from the field. The Indiana Pacers continue to be one of the more disappointing teams in the league and they lose in the underdog role by an average of 5.4 points. I’m just not high on the Pacers at all and it’s hard to bet against the Nets in their current form. You can argue this line should be a lot steeper. Give me the Nets.
