Pacers vs Hawks Prediction

The Pacers are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and it’s not a coincidence that 5 of their 12 wins have come in their last 10 games. I’m still siding with the Hawks and the small line. Even as they get healthy, the Pacers continue to be hit or miss.

The Hawks have also played winning ball over the last two weeks, and they’ve been at their best on the road, where they’ve won 15 games. The Hawks also just beat the Pacers a few days ago by 16 points, and they’ve won 4 straight against the Pacers overall. This line is showing the Pacers too much love. I’m not buying it. Give me the Hawks.
