Pacers vs Jazz Prediction

The Pacers should win this game comfortably as they’re the better healthier team, and they’re fighting for seeing. However, this is a lot of points for a Pacers team that’s still has key players on the injury report and has failed to cover seven of their last nine games. The Pacers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a double-digit favorite. While the Jazz are in tank mode and have shutdown majority of their roster, the Pacers don’t do well in these massive favorite spots. Also, a potential look ahead spot for the Pacers with the Nuggets on deck. Should be a win and get out situation. It’s Jazz and the points or pass for me.
