Nets vs Pacers Prediction
I get that the Pacers haven’t had much road success this season and they’re banged up. The Pacers are also on the end of a back-to-back. However, what in the hell have the Nets done to deserve to be favored? This line doesn’t make sense at all. The Nets are 22 games below a .500 record. This will be just the fourth time this season that the Nets are favored. This will be the eighth time since April 2024 that the Nets are favored. I’m not laying points with the Nets. Give me the Pacers, who just upset the Knicks last night.
