Spurs vs Pacers Prediction

It’s just one game, and the Indiana Pacers are still 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. I still can’t get over allowing 140 points in regulation. Just when you thought the Pacers were turning the corner, they allowed 60 percent shooting from the field. The San Antonio Spurs are the crowd favorite in France for obvious reasons, and Wembanyama went crazy his first time out in a 30-point triple-double. While you’d expect a better effort from the Pacers in the second meeting, I still can’t get over that blowout on Thursday. The value is with the Spurs and the free bucket. I’ll take it.
