The Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Monday games and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Monday games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. The over is 6-2 in Pacers last 8 overall. The over is 4-1 in Wizards last 5 Monday games. The Pacers are 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Washington and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
The Indiana Pacers have underachieved for much of the season, but they’re coming off a strong week with wins in four of their last five tries, and they’re comfortably the better team here. The Washington Wizards are back to their losing ways, they lose at home by an average of 2.9 points and it doesn’t help that Beal is questionable for this contest with a hip injury. This line smells a little fishy, but I’m still backing the Pacers and the cheap spread.
