Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Picks
Hawks vs Pacers Spread Pick
- Indiana Pacers +2.5 (5 units)
The Pacers have been one of the worst teams in the league this season. Injuries have killed them while they rank towards the bottom in offense and defense. However, they are 3-1 against the spread this season, and they will have a real chance for an outright win in this game. The Pacers still have a strong scorer in Pascal Siakam and the team can rebound. They are the eighth-best rebounding team in the league. The Hawks have struggled to rebound as they are the sixth-worst at grabbing boards. The Hawks will be without star player Trae Young, which leaves the door open for Indiana. Expect a low-scoring, ugly game that Indiana can take advantage of in their second home game of the year.
Take Indiana to cover.
Hawks vs Pacers Over/Under Pick
- Under 230.5 (5 units)
Because of all the injuries, Indiana has struggled for offensive consistency. They rank third-worst in offensive efficiency, while the Hawks also rank 19th in the same category. Offense will be a struggle in this game, along with a slow-paced outing. The Pacers rank 24th in pace while the Hawks rank 18th. Expect a game that has poor offense and that takes the majority of the shot clock.
