The Indiana Pacers have been looking like a force to be reckoned with as of late and enter Saturday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks as Sportsbooks of seven of their last nine games. The return of Paul George is a big reason why the Pacers are relevant again after a forgettable 2014/15 campaign, with the veteran coming off an impressive 34 point effort in a 112-85 demolition of the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. George has put up at least 26 points in eight straight games heading into the tilt.
Indiana has been excellent on the floor and for gamblers as well. The Pacers are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games - good enough to make them the hottest spread bet in the NBA.
Home court advantage hasn’t meant much in this series, as road sides are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between the clubs.
