Indiana Pacers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Indiana Pacers are the better team on paper and probably should be favored, but this is a lot of chalk for a summer league game. It’s also a lot of chalk for a team that hasn’t played much defense through two games and has been on the losing side in both games. Yes, the Suns were awful in their summer league debut, but they can’t possibly shoot any worse than they did in the first matchup. Again, this is a lot of points. I’ll take a stab with the Suns, expecting a better shooting performance.
