00:00 All right, let's preview some games against the spread tonight in the NBA.
00:06 The Indiana Pacers heading toward the playoffs.
00:08 They've had a nice season.
00:09 Their six point favorites tonight over the New Orleans Pelicans.
00:12 Total is two, 38 and a half.
00:16 Indiana, generally speaking, is one of these teams when they play, they tend to score a
00:20 lot of points.
00:21 So the overs have come in quite a bit here on the Pacers.
00:23 Who do you like tonight in this game?
00:25 Yeah, I mean, even though the Pelicans have been playing some of their best basketball
00:29 this season, and they actually have a top six ranked defense in the NBA, I really like
00:33 the Pacers tonight just because New Orleans has played a lot of games coming out of the
00:36 All-Star break.
00:37 This is going to be their fifth game in seven days.
00:39 They're coming off of a back to back last night.
00:41 I just saw on Twitter that they were having some travel issues after the game last night
00:46 as well.
00:47 The Pacers are coming in well rested.
00:49 You know, they have the combination of Tyrese Halbert and Pascal Siakam who are starting
00:52 to learn how to mesh together.
00:54 And you know, I mean, maybe if the Pelicans weren't coming off of back to back with the
00:57 way that they've been playing lately, I would have liked them plus six.
00:59 But I'm actually going to take Indiana minus six tonight, just given, you know, everything
01:03 that the Pelicans are going through right now.
01:05 Maybe some of the guys will be, you know, on a tighter minutes restriction playing so
01:09 many games as they gear up for the home stretch of the postseason.
01:12 And, you know, I also feel like that over is looking pretty good as well, because even
01:16 though the Pelicans are a really good defensive team, like I just said, you know, you mentioned
01:19 it, Craig, the Pacers can score, they can score with the best of the teams in the NBA.
01:24 They don't play a lot of defense.
01:26 I feel like this could end up being kind of a sloppy game.
01:28 So I kind of like the Pacers and I also like the over in that one.
