1.97Tip and bets
Brooklyn did not live up to the fans' expectations at the start of the championship. The Nets, like last season, are teetering in the play-in zone. Indiana is not shining with results either. The teams are at about the same level as the strongest rosters, but the home team has too many injured players. The team from Indianapolis will have to achieve a victory over a weakened opponent.
Our prediction is a victory for Indiana with a handicap of (-3.5) points, taking into account overtime at 2.05
Bet on individual total
Indiana will put its best lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from the State of the Bruisers has not shown very high efficiency this season. The average score is 114.1. And in away games it is a little lower - 111.6. And this time Carlisle charges will not be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Indiana individual total under 113.5 points including overtime at 2.06
Bet on the first half
The Indiana basketball players will start the game with Brooklyn in a not very good mood after an unsuccessful trip to Toronto. There is no doubt that the Pacers will try to achieve victory in order to rehabilitate themselves before their fans. The Carlisle team players will show who is the main one on the court from the first minutes of the match and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is Indiana win in the first half of the game at 1.78
