Indiana Pacers vs Washington Wizards prediction
While the Indiana Pacers have had more success this season, they play a similar style as the Wizards. Both are offensive first and little to no effort defensively. The Wizards and Pacers have combined for 33 overs this season. When these teams met in October, they combined for 263 points. High total, but we’re going to see a lot of points here yet again. Instead of playing with the spread, give me the over.
