Nuggets vs. Pacers Game Info
Denver Nuggets (20-15, 11-8 Away) vs. Indiana Pacers (16-18, 7-10 Home)
Date: Thursday, March 4, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: Bankers Life Fieldhouse — Indianapolis, Ind.
After a rough stretch during the beginning of February, the Nuggets have again been playing like one of the best teams in the NBA. They have won four of their past five games, including a 31-point beatdown of the Bucks in Milwaukee last time out. Nikola Jokic was the best player on the floor during that game, finishing with a 37-point triple-double. They have a top-five offense in efficiency, but their defense ranks in the middle of the league. That is why the Nuggets can struggle when they do face off against talented offensive teams.
The Pacers do not appear to be one of the talented offensive teams right now. Their offensive efficiency ranks 18th in the NBA, and some of their injuries are a big reason for this. The Pacers have also been slumping, losing four of their last five games. They are coming off a win last night against the Cavaliers, which was a game that featured T.J. McConnell finishing with a 10-steal triple-double off the bench.

Nuggets vs. Pacers NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Nuggets – Pacers game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at SugarHouse and DraftKings in the form of an over 226.5 (-112) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Nuggets – Pacers total under should aim to do so at PointsBet, with a line of 227 (-105).
Nuggets vs. Pacers Prediction
Denver is 8-5 against the spread as a road favorite this season. They are also playing against a struggling Pacers team that is on the second leg of a back-to-back. The total has also hit the over in 13 of their 19 road games, if you want to jump on that trend. I’m slightly worried about the Pacers pulling their weight for the total, so I’m only betting the spread.
Prediction: Nuggets -4
