Indiana at Washington

The Indiana Pacers have missed the offense of Danny Granger, but the defense has picked up the slack and they have held five of their last seven opponents in the 80s or less. Washington is the last NBA team without a win, and at 0-8 the energy level is going down once again in the nation’s capital. Washington is a poorly run organization that has been in the lottery now for four straight years. What they have to show for it is a record of 88-232, and the 0-8 this year just emphasizes those draft failures. They should have a starting five now of top draft choices, competing at a high level, but they don't. Playing against a team at slim moneyline odds that wins just 27% of the time in over 300 games is the only choice. Play Indiana on the moneyline.
