Key Stats
Brooklyn Nets
Brooklyn needs to win games if it hopes to make the playoffs. They are led by Cam Thomas in scoring at 21.3 points per game. Additionally, Nic Claxton secures the boards at 9.8 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Dennis Smith Jr. offers 3.7 assists per game. However, he needs to increase his 6.9 points per game. Moreover, Mikal Bridges offers 20.9 points per game. This team has enough pieces to beat the Indiana Pacers. However, this game can easily get out of hand for them.
Indiana Pacers
Indiana is a team that could have made a run, but a combination of injuries and poor play from Tyrese Halliburton are limiting them. Halliburton averages 20.7 points per game. However, he has scored less than 20 points in three out of his last five games. Furthermore, Myles Turner averages 7.0 rebounds per game. Although others need to step up, Haliburton isn’t playing well enough for this Indiana Pacers team to beat the Brooklyn Nets by a wide margin today.

Game Prediction
This game will be closer than what the spread is indicating. Although the Brooklyn Nets have been inconsistent. A win against the Indiana Pacers is not out of the question. Furthermore, the Pacers are not playing to their high-flying potential. They are especially struggling throughout games on the offensive end. This was their strength prior to the All-Star Break. But a win against Brooklyn could help to get them back on track. Regardless, the Brooklyn Nets will cover the spread.
Final Pick
Brooklyn Nets +9 (-112)
