I'm a Pacers homer. I'll get that out of the way first.
When the Pacers picked up Tyreke Evans, I thought that their 2nd unit would really smash most of the other teams 2nd units. Big man Sabonis also comes off the bench and he's better then Myles Turner in everything but shot blocking. Cory Joseph is one of the better backup point guards and plays as much as Darren Collison.
Bottom line here.....the angle is betting the 2nd quarter where the bench probably plays 60% of the time or more. The Pacers are 4-0 at home 2Q. In their last 6 games....they're 5-1 in the 2Q overall and outscored opponents by 44 points combined. They've won the 2Q by 5,6,10,11, and 17 points. In the last 6 games they've beaten the Celtics by 10, Blazers by 11, and Spurs by 6 on the road. There is some value here!
