Wizards vs Pacers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers have the ability to win this game easily and probably should, but they’re also 3-6-1 ATS in their last nine games when a favorite of seven or more points. The Pacers have lost three of their last four games and are on the end of a back-to-back. The Wizards are awful, and they don’t win games, but they have cashed five of their last six contests, which is all we care about. The Wizards are 3-1 ATS in their last four games when an underdog of seven or more points. At the end of a back-to-back and the break in sight, we could see a sluggish performance from the Pacers. Give me the Wizards and the points.
