Memphis Grizzlies vs Indiana Pacers Prediction

The Indiana Pacers should be favored at home, especially with the way their offense has picked up where they left off. However, this is a lot of points for a Pacers team that still doesn’t put much effort in defensively. The Pacers are allowing 124 points on 51.6 percent shooting through two games. The lack of defense makes it hard to lay big numbers with the Pacers. Also, as I’ve mentioned previously, the Grizzlies are a team loaded with guys who have seen real NBA minutes, so they should do well in the preseason whether starters play or not. Too many points. Give me the Grizzlies.
