The Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers duke it out once again at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon. Here’s a Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction. This article will include a Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers Pick.

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview

The Brooklyn Nets have been in a real slump as they've lost 12 of their last 14 games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back after having their two-game win streak halted by the Pacers in a 105-99 overtime road defeat on Thursday. Ziaire Williams and D'Angelo Russell led the team with 22 points each, Trendon Watford added 15 points off the bench while Noah Clowney chipped in with 10 points, but no other player scored more than eight points. As a team, the Nets shot a miserly 35 percent from the field and 14 of 50 from the 3-point line as they went cold and scored just 39 points in the second half of regulation to waste an early 11-point lead. Before they managed just eight points in overtime to fall short in the end. 

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been in pretty good shape as they've reeled off five wins from their past six games overall. They will be aiming for a fourth straight victory after sneaking past the Nets in a 105-99 overtime home win on Thursday. Bennedict Mathurin led the team with 28 points, 16 rebounds and three assists, Myles Turner added 23 points with 10 rebounds and five blocks while Aaron Nesmith chipped in with 14 points. As a team, the Pacers shot 43 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they got off to a slow start. They had to claw their way back from an early 11-point deficit, before they dominated overtime to escape with the solid win in the end. 

Why the Indiana Pacers will win

  • The Nets have lost each of their last seven games against Central Division opponents.
  • The Pacers have won each of their last nine games as home favorites.
  • The Pacers have covered the spread in five of their last six night games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse after coming off overtime.
  • The Nets have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games against Central Division opponents following a loss.

Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Nets have ruled out D'Angelo Russell again, and they have Ziaire Williams listed as questionable, while the Pacers are keeping an eye on Tyrese Haliburton, who is listed as questionable for this one. The Nets were able to stay surprisingly competitive through the last meeting on Thursday, but the challenge gets so much tougher if both Russell and Williams are out injured. With that being said, the Pacers have been in fine form and I think they maintain their momentum with a win and cover at home.
