Getting at least one game in early since I'll be busy tomorrow and wanna leave you guys with something.
Rockets -11
The Pacers beat the Rockets back in late January in Indiana, but since then have gone 5-7 and are losers out of the 7 of 8. During that stretch they have the worst defensive rating in the league, and are averaging only103 points a game. Granted, they did play the toughest schedule in the league during that stretch of games, but none the less, they were still unable to win.
The Rockets have had it rather easy compared to the Pacers but still, when you're giving up 44% from three in that span of games like Indiana is, it's hard to win against anybody, and that problem will be magnified two fold against Houston.
Paul George has been a big reason the Pacers are a leagues worst 1-7 in the last eight games. He's only averaging 18 points and shooting under 40% from the field. The plethora of double figured players in scoring isn't there either like it was when they went 14-4 in January.
This is a game where I think the three point differential alone, will just about cover the spread. I expect the Rockets to have about 8-10 more threes made than Indiana and the pace to really make Indiana play in a way they don't want to. While I do think that the Pacers have some potential inside, the guard disparity is too great and should be where the entire game lies.
Terrible timing for a terrible road team playing in a terrible match up.
Rockets Big!

That westbrook dunk to seal off the night was beautiful. 11 points is a lot of points however!
Between college and NBA I ran into 9 overtime losses in a two week span BEFORE I lost on the under in the Super Bowl.
