Nets vs Pacers Prediction

Two tanking teams with ridiculous injury reports—I’m not excited to get behind either of these teams. If forced to pick, I want points in my pocket. The underdog has covered 6 of the last 7 games between the Pacers and Nets. The Pacers have just 7 road wins, so I’m not laying points. The Nets have seen 12 of their 20 wins come at home. If the Nets are going to win a game the rest of the year, this is it. Awful game, but it’s the Nets or pass for me.
