💰 Pacers win total prediction

Here's why our NBA expert Corey Scott expects the Pacers to finish Under 37.5 wins as one of his NBA win total predictions for the 2025-26 season:

⬇️ Under 37.5 wins

Tyrese Haliburton will miss the entire season recovering from Achilles surgery, and Myles Turner signed with the Bucks in the offseason. This line accounts for that, but I don’t like the odds of Pascal Siakam, Bennedict Mathurin, and the remaining Pacers competing for a play-in spot. This feels like a lost season, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns into a tank job at some point - similar to the Warriors in 2019-20.

✅ Prediction: Under 37.5 wins (-110 via DraftKings)


🔮 Best Pacers futures bet

Here's why our NBA expert Liam Fox is betting on Andrew Nembhard to win NBA Most Improved Player as one of his best NBA futures bets for the 2025-26 season:

🏆️ Andrew Nembhard to win NBA Most Improved Player

Andrew Nembhard is a proven playoff stud but will now have to be the primary ball-handler in Indiana without Tyrese Haliburton. He's already on the national radar and will have a great chance to put up numbers with more opportunity. If he does win, a $10 bet at these odds would return a $180 profit.

✅ Best bet: Andrew Nembhard to win NBA Most Improved Player (+1800 via FanDuel)
