NBA: Denver Nuggets at Indiana Pacers: Pick & Prediction

3-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets travel to Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers in what should be a high-flying contest.

The point total is hovering just under the 250s for a reason, as Jokic quarterbacks one of the most prolific offenses in the NBA, averaging a triple-double. He currently has odds hovering around +340 as he continues hunting for a 4th MVP.

On the other end, Indiana has proven to have one of the deepest rosters in all of basketball. Haliburton leads the way, but guys like Bennedict Mathurin, Myles Turner, and Pascal Siakam are very capable ancillary options.

Be sure to monitor the injury report in this one with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon being game-time decisions.

Check out our in-depth preview and prediction below.

These two teams may not be headliners in their respective conferences, but they’re certainly two squads you don’t want to sleep on.

Indiana is coming off a surprising run to the Eastern Conference Finals. Although the eventual champion, Boston Celtics, swept them, Indiana lost three of their four games by five points or less.

The Nuggets were your 2023 NBA champions - last year ended in disappointing fashion as they blew a 20-point third quarter lead in Game 7 at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference semifinals to end their season.

Denver has since retooled with the likes of Russell Westbrook and increased usage out of Christian Braun. Denver is firmly in the hunt for the West’s two-seed.

Even though Denver has won nine of their last ten, it comes against a lifeless group, including a pair of wins over the likes of Charlotte, Portland, and New Orleans over that stretch. Indiana has won 16 of their last 21 and has blown out the Clippers and Grizzlies out of the All-Star break.

Even though they are on the back end of a back-to-back, Indiana has plenty of depth to offset any fatigue concerns. Take the points here. For more insights, check out Action PRO, and before you wager, check out our bet365 bonus code for a great offer.
