Brooklyn at Indiana

The Brooklyn Nets took a deep dive a year ago, recording 19 fewer wins than the previous season. Their 21 wins was hopefully rock bottom, but stay tuned, as they have opened a woeful 4-10. Things have gotten even worse as they are 0-5 SU/ATS in their last five games, and must take to the road vs. the also struggling Indiana Pacers who are just 7-9. The Pacers may be underachieving even more than the Nets and are just 5-11 ATS, and have lost straight-up as a favorite four times already. The Pacers woes have been magnified with their lack of effort off the glass, allowing 55 or more rebounds in their last six games, and are getting murdered off the glass by over 10 per game in the stretch. The Nets get a chance for some put-backs here to keep them in within striking distance. Play the points on Brooklyn.
