Indiana and New Orleans meet on January 17, and bookmakers give the hosts a slight advantage due to the home court and confident play in the endings. The Pacers are vulnerable to early setbacks, and the head-to-head matches of both teams have been productive this season: fast pace, lots of shots from the perimeter, and scrambling for rebounds. Key players such as Siakam and Zion are in the ranks, there are no injuries, and the attacking potential is high. The optimal bet is on the hosts, who must take advantage of the support of the stands and outplay the opponent.
Our prediction is that Indiana will win with a handicap of (-1.5) 1.77 points.
