Indiana at Atlanta

This is a big game in the sense that both these clubs are scrambling for playoff position and are seperated by a scant 1.5 games in the standings, so I expect a playoff like atmosphere here with a lot of intensity on the defensive end. That has been the calling card for much of the season for the Atlanta Hawks, who are 27-37-2 O/U on the year allowing less than 100 points a contest. The Hawks already appear to be in playoff mode as scoring in their games has dropped dramatically in their last nine with a combined average of 189.1 points per game, limiting opponents to 91.1 points per game, and 1-8 O/U. The Pacers have been 3-6 O/U in their last nine road games. And with a lot riding on this game, expect the defenses to prevail here. Make the play on the UNDER.
