Command Analysis
Denver Nuggets
USACurrent form
Nice Denver has been falling apart lately. Either spring has such an effect on them, or they're just tired of winning, but the last three matches have all gone by the box office. The last nuisance happened on April 5, when the Nuggets visited Golden State and were rather unceremoniously beaten there — 104:118.
But it all started like in a good old fairy tale: Denver won the first quarter by a comfortable ten-point margin and even managed to cheer up. But then it was as if someone had turned off the switch, and trouble began.
The ray of light in this dark story was, of course, the eternal and cheerful Nikola Jokic. The Serbian giant was close to another triple-double — he scored 33 points, picked up 12 goals and distributed nine assists. Miles Turner (23 points), Christian Brown (16) and Aaron Gordon (15) scored a little more modestly.
As a result, Mike Malone's team has 47 wins and 31 losses and is still in fourth place in the Western Conference.
Disqualifications and injuries
The news from the medical front for Denver is encouraging. The main body seems to be in service. Although the intrigue remains: will Jamal Murray play? The main point guard continues to struggle with a cranky hamstring. His participation in the game against Indiana is still a mystery.
Interesting facts for betting
In the last ten face-to-face meetings, Denver and Indiana have averaged 226 points apiece.
The Nuggets beat the Pacers in ten consecutive games. This is a tradition!
Approximate composition: Jamal Murray, Christian Brown, Michael Porter, Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic.
Indiana Pacers

But Indiana, on the contrary, seemed to have decided to come fully armed to the finish of the season. Carlisle's boys have won four of their last five matches. And in the last game, on April 5, we had a real fun party — we defeated poor Utah with a score of 140:112.
The main character of the evening was Miles Turner— who scored 26 points. Pascal Siakam added 22, Benedikt Mathurin added 20, and five other players went into double digits. Tyrese Haliburton, as always, was the engine and brain of the team — 17 points, six rebounds and 11 assists.
As a result, the Pacers share fourth place in the East with 46 wins and 31 losses.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bad news for Indiana: Pascal Siakam will remain out of the game due to elbow bursitis. But the rest of the leaders are ready for battle and eager to prove their strength even in mountainous Colorado.
Interesting facts for betting
In total, Indiana has defeated Denver 46 times in the history of the rivalry. The Nuggets currently have 55 wins over the Pacers. Fun old-fashioned rivalry!
Approximate composition: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembard, Aaron Nesmith, Obi Toppin, Miles Turner.

1.87Tip and bets
Indiana has already secured a playoff spot in the East, so we can expect the team to slow down slightly. However, such confidence can play tricks on them. Denver, on the other hand, is in the midst of a fight for a direct ticket to the playoffs in the West. Here, as in a war, every match is worth its weight in gold. Given the density of the teams in the table, it is impossible to lose. Plus, the Pacers will be without their key player, Siakam, who is responsible for rebounds and helps defend the ring.
Thus, Mike Malone's team will have to arrange a difficult fight and, in a somewhat tense scenario, snatch victory from a not very motivated opponent. And, of course, in their home arena, with the support of their native fans, they must cope with this task.
Our betting tip is for Denver to win with a head start (-5.5) points, including overtime in 1.81
Betting on an individual total
The average score scored by Denver in the current championship is 120.1. At home, the team improves this result slightly, scoring 122.9 points on average per game. In the last three meetings with Indiana out of five, they have overcome the 125-point mark, and it seems that this time they have every chance to overcome this barrier again.
Our betting tip is that Denver's individual total is more than 124.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet for the first quarter
Denver has won the first quarter six times in a row in head-to-head matches with Indiana out of the last eight. Starting a match with a spark for Malone's team is not just a habit, but a necessity, because it is important to seize the initiative immediately. In addition, the guests are likely to go out on the floor with a not-so-combat team, and in a foreign territory it will be more difficult for them to adjust to the proper level.
Our prediction is that Denver will win in the first quarter in 1.68
