Indiana Pacers vs. Washington Wizards // Feb 10




Tip-off


The race atop of the Eastern Conference is tightening and the Indiana Pacers (29-23) take on the Washington Wizards (31-21). Both these teams have been making noise as of late and are playing the best basketball in the East.




Keeping pace


The Pacers are 7-3 in their last 10 games but before this week’s high-scoring loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Pacers had been on a seven-game winning streak. In the Pacers’ last 19 games, the team is 14-5. A lot of their success can be attributed to their play on home court. They are 20-7 at home but have been struggling on the road. They are 9-16 heading into Washington.


The Pacers are statistically average on offence and defence. They score an average of 105.7 points per game, which is good for 14th best in the league. On defence, they give up 105.8, 18th in the league.




Capital wizardry


The Wizards and the Pacers have a lot in common. They both pose a threat to the other teams at the top of the Eastern conference, and they both recently had a seven-game winning streak snapped by the Cavaliers. The Wizards are 8-2 in their last 10, but their hot streak is not a flash in the pan. The Wizards have been playing sublime basketball and are 15-3 in their last 18 matches.


The Wizards play their best ball when they are at home and are 22-7 in Washington. But before the Cavaliers loss, the Wizards has 17 straight wins at home. The Wizards are one of the best scoring offences in the league—averaging over 107 points per game.




The Final Breakdown


The Pacers have been decent ATS when visiting the Wizards. They covered the spread 7 out of their last 11 road games in Washington. When playing the role of the road dog, they hold an 11-7-2 record @ Washington in their last 20 meetings. Line has now moved to 6 points in the Wiz favour. I’ll take all the points that they give me.

Indiana Pacers +6 (-110) 1u
