Pacers vs Wizards Prediction
The Pacers are getting healthier, slowly but surely and have covered 7 of their last 10 games. Still, the Pacers aren’t a team I’m running to the window to lay big numbers with. Yes, the Wizards are awful, but they’ve covered 7 of the last 10 games and should’ve beat the Cavs on Friday as 17-point underdogs. A Pacers blowout win wouldn’t shock anybody, but they’re still too banged up to trust with big numbers. There’s probably better ways to spend your Sunday than this game. It’s Wizards and the points or pass for me.
