Pacers vs Kings Prediction
I don’t love the Pacers in the big favorite role, as they’re 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games and 33-40-1 ATS on the season. However, the Kings are even worse with their 29-42-3 ATS record. The Pacers are the more explosive team that beat the Kings on the road by 27 points back in December. The Pacers are also 24-10 SU at home this season. We’ve seen the Kings score less than 100 points in two of their last four games. That’s not going to get it done against the Pacers. I’ll lay the points with the home team.
