They remain without Kevin Durant, but the Nets are having no trouble piling up wins. Brooklyn extended its latest win streak to five games on Monday night with a win over the cross-town rival Knicks. James Harden dropped a monster triple-double that included 15 rebounds and 15 assists, while Kyrie Irving led the Nets in scoring with 34 points. The number of teams in the NBA betting landscape capable of slowing Brooklyn down appears to be few and far between. The Pacers will be the next team to give it a shot as they return home following a 1-2 West Coast road trip. The Nets won the only prior meeting between the teams this year by 10 points.

As seen in the accompanying image above, the Nets are laying a short number on the road in this matchup. For bettors interested in backing Brooklyn to continue their winning surge, the best value against the spread can be found in -3 (-112) odds at any of BetRivers, FanDuel or DraftKings. On the contrary, Pacers backers should be more selective in where they place their bets. With BetMGM’s spread shaded a half-point higher than the rest of the NBA betting market, those taking Indiana should target the +3.5 (-110) offering.

Nets vs. Pacers NBA Betting Prediction
There isn’t any new injury news to note for either team in this game. The Nets remain without both Durant and newcomer Blake Griffin. For the Pacers, T.J. Warren continues to be sidelined, while Jeremy Lamb is again questionable. While those are all notable names, we aren’t anticipating any injury report surprises.
Given all of this, the Nets feel like a cheap favorite in this spot. While they are on the road, this is also the Pacers’ first game back home following their road trip. As such, it will be their fourth straight game in a new city. The Nets’ recent form makes them extremely hard to bet against, even against a scrappy Indiana team that plays hard each and every night. It may be a Caris LeVert revenge game, but that narrative doesn’t necessarily translate to NBA outcomes as it does in other sports. Laying the short number with Brooklyn here is my preferred option.
