The Indiana Pacers have started to catch their groove after slight growing pains without all-star Victor Oladipo and I think we continue to see them play well at home. Indiana has one of the top defenses in the NBA as they rank 1st in points allowed per game. Bogdanovic has had the hot hand as of recent and he continues to show his dominance in this game. Indiana wins and covers, 108-100.
