Indiana at Los Angeles

The Indiana Pacers are off to a tough start at 6-8, but have done a respectable job of staying in touch while they await the return of Danny Granger. The Pacers miss his offense, but have compensated on the defensive end, slowing things down to remain competitive. They have held 9 of their last 10 opponents to under 100 points, not including overtime minutes. The offense has also picked things up, as after not topping the 94-point mark in their first nine, they have averaged 97.4 points per game in their last five. The Lakers have simply not played to the level of talent on this team, as they try to find roles for their players and the chemistry just hasn't worked yet, struggling to a 7-7 record. The Lakers’ lack of consistency has left them at 6-20 ATS in their last 26 following a win. Go with Indiana.
