The Nuggets are more than capable of blowing the doors off in this spot, as the Pacers are losing and banged up as any team in NBA history. However, the Nuggets are on the end of a back-to-back, and this is a great deal of points. Also, while the Pacers aren’t winning, they’re 5-3 ATS on the season. The Pacers have covered 5 of their last 6 games as a double-digit underdog. Four of those covers were outright wins. I’ll lean toward the points on Saturday night.
