Expert picks & predictions for Saturday’s Nets vs. Pacers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pacers to cover:
“These teams just met two days ago and went to OT and the Pacers won by six as eight-point favorites. The spread has opened at -8.5 and -9 but continues to grow out in the Pacers’ favor. With every win being important for the Eastern Conference standings, this would be an Indiana or pass spot.”
