Memphis at Indiana

Premium Pick

Indiana had a productive offseason by signing several free agents, including Tyreke Evans and three-point specialist Doug McDermott to help out on the offensive end. The Pacers have transformed from a bad-shooting team that relied solely on defense a few years ago to a high-powered offense that was sixth in the league last season in shooting percentage. Victor Oladipo averaged 23.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 2017-18 and still will be the catalyst for the Pacers, who now are a serious Eastern Conference contender along with Boston now that LeBron James is off to the Lakers. Memphis will be fortunate to be in playoff contention as it comes off a 22-60 season and continues to rebuild around Marc Gasol and Mike Conley without any real progress. The Grizzlies finished the season 3-10 ATS versus Eastern Conference teams while the Pacers covered five of their last six against the Western Conference. Lay the points with the Pacers.
