Brooklyn is looking at a lot of young kids, who are playing for jobs. Power forward Thomas Robinson is running with the opportunity and has six straight double-doubles. Robinson is averaging 15.3 points and 13 rebounds in that span and grabbed 17 boards on Friday before fouling out. Nets rookie forward Chris McCullough made his first career start on Friday and scored 12 points. The Nets are 7-3 ATS against a team with a winning straight up record. They face an Indiana Pacers squad that needs to win to clinch a playoff spot, but they needed to the last game, too, and lost 111-98 at Toronto on Friday. Toronto sat All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry while giving forwards Luis Scola and DeMarre Carroll the night off, but the Pacers still couldn't find a way around the second unit. Indiana is a big favorite, but is #19 in points scored, and #18 in shooting from the field and beyond the arc. The Pacers are 2-8 ATS at home versus a team with a losing road record. Brooklyn won the last meeting, 120-110, three weeks ago as a +6 dog and is 7-3 ATS at Indiana, plus the road team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Play Brooklyn.
