The Nets recently beat Milwaukee on the road (113:110), but this is one of the rare victories of Jordi Fernandez's team in the last few weeks. Specifically, the Nets have only three wins in their previous 12 games. It's clear that even the top-10 in the East is difficult for the New Yorkers to claim at this point. Brooklyn is only 12th in the conference with a 13-22 record and 3.0 wins behind the play-in zone.

Just before the game with Indiana, Brooklyn lost to Philadelphia at home by all accounts - 94:123. D'Angelo Russell had his worst game since returning to the Nets, scoring only five points. The most productive player for Brooklyn in this game was Zaire Williams - 19 points.

The Pacers won two straight games before traveling to face the Nets, scoring over 250 points total in two games. First, the team defeated Miami on the road - 128:115, and then at home confidently coped with Phoenix - 126:108. Thus, Indiana already has seven wins in the last ten games.

The total balance of wins for the Pacers is now 18-18. In the Eastern Conference standings, the team from Indianapolis is in seventh position and is only 0.5 wins behind the top six. It should also be noted that Indiana has added to its offense over the course of the season and has already reached 11th place in the offensive efficiency rating with 115.3 points scored per game.

The results of matches involving Brooklyn in recent weeks are mostly down, but Indiana, on the contrary, is starting to resemble the same pattern of last season, when the Pacers managed to finish the regular season with the best offense, but not the strongest defense. In this regard, we believe that the Nets will overcome their season norm, but will concede significantly more. Here we bet on Indiana to win in a high-scoring game.
