Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers prediction
The Brooklyn Nets are an inconsistent team, and you’re never sure which version is going to show up. The Nets are 10-22 SU on the road this season so that probably gives you an idea for this game. The Indiana Pacers have the offense to bury any team in the league, and they are a profitable 35-29-3 ATS on the season. The Nets went from a profitable team earlier in the season to now 29-34-3 ATS on the season. Not my favorite game on the NBA card, but I’ll lay the points with the Pacers if forced to pick.
