Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

The Brooklyn Nets have yet to taste victory after seven games and their confidence took another gut shot after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 125-109 defeat on Monday. Cam Thomas led the team with 25 points on 10 of 24 shooting, Nic Claxton added 19 points with eight rebounds and seven assists while Noah Clowney chipped in with 15 points and six rebounds.

As a team, the Nets shot just 40 percent from the field and 12 of 40 from the 3-point line, which are all poor numbers. But to their credit, they were able to keep it close until the Timberwolves opened the fourth quarter on a 17-6 run to start to pull away.

Indiana Pacers Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers haven’t been much better as they’ve dropped six of their first seven games and they will be eager to bounce back after coming up just short to the Bucks in a 117-115 defeat on Monday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 32 points and eight assists on 11 of 24 shooting. Isaiah Jackson added 21 points with 10 rebounds on eight of 12 shooting, Jarace Walker scored 18 points with eight rebounds and five assists, while Aaron Nesmith chipped in with 17 points and seven rebounds.

As a team, the Pacers shot 43 percent from the field and eight of 33 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Bucks early on. They trailed for most of the contest, until they turned the tide with a 15-3 run in the fourth quarter. The Pacers had all the momentum with the game seemingly headed for overtime before the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo made the game-winner at the buzzer.

Brooklyn Nets vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Nets are still playing without Haywood Highsmith and Drake Powell, while the Pacers have ruled out Johnny Furphy, Quenton Jackson, Andrew Nembhard and TJ McConnell. You couldn’t back either side with any confidence if you look at their records. But if you wanted to dissect the teams, there is a bit more to like about the Pacers who almost took down the red-hot Bucks in their last outing. The Nets were clear before the season that this was going to be a rebuild, and it certainly looks like they are treating it that way. They’ve lost all of their first seven games, five of which were by double digits. The line is short enough for me to take the Pacers to get a much needed win and cover in this spot.
