San Antonio at Indiana

The Indiana Pacers are trying to hold serve until they can get Danny Granger back on the court, and at 6-7 they are having a difficult time doing so. Granger was the man called upon when the offense hit a rut, and without him the Pacers have been slowed at the offensive end of the court, relying on defense to stay in games. San Antonio presents problems because they like the fast tempo and have a lot of answers at the offensive end. They can also call upon a solid defense to get stops, and cause droughts by their opponents. The Spurs have taken care of business vs. teams with a losing record now at 36-15-2 ATS in their last 53. When they play with a day of rest, they are now 26-11-1 ATS in their last 38. The Pacers’ lack of offensive consistency is showing up in their 1-6 ATS mark in their last 7 after reaching the century mark. Play on San Antonio in this one.
