Pacers vs Spurs Prediction | Free NBA Picks

Pertaining to this cross-conference rematch, Indiana is 13-16 as a favorite, 9-29 as an underdog and 14-18-1 ATS away, whereas San Antonio is 14-9 as a favorite, 12-32 as an underdog and 16-17 ATS at home.

Having said all of this, the Pacers are in worse shape right now. They will not have Malcolm Brogdon tonight. Both teams are not playing well, but at least the Spurs are not on a three-game skid. Therefore, pick the Spurs to win, the Pacers will cover the spread and the total will go under 237. If you’re interested, read our handicap betting guide. More NBA picks are on the main page.
