NBA Betting Warriors @ Pacers<\/h2>\n

The Golden State Warriors (7-18 SU, 10-15 ATS, 15-10 O\/U) have dropped three straight games, failing to cover the spread for NBA sports betting backers each time. The Indiana Pacers (8-16 SU, 12-11-1 ATS, 14-9-1 O\/U) snapped its six-game losing streak in the BetUS Sportsbook the last time out and have alternated ATS wins and losses in each of their last six games. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Tonight, both teams will look to pick up a victory when they meet at Conseco Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n

The Warriors are coming off a dismal 109-98 loss to the Orlando Magic on Monday when they failed to cover the spread for NBA sports betting backers as a 3.5-point home underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

Blossoming center Andris Biedrins, the league\u2019s No. 2 rebounder, scored a team-high 23 points on 10-for-12 shooting from the field, but the Warriors saw Stephen Jackson and Jamal Crawford combine to score 28 points on a dismal 9-for-31 shooting mark from the field.<\/p>\n

“I thought we tried to do the right thing,” Nelson said. “It was tough to establish a low post game and we struggled to score.”<\/p>\n

Jackson has struggled badly playing with a sprained left wrist recently, averaging just 8.0 points per game while making just 14.6 percent (6-of-41) of his field goal attempts in the last three games.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to make this a big deal about my hand,” said Jackson, who averaged 16.6 points and 3.9 boards in two-plus seasons (2004-07) with Indiana. “It happened and I’m going to keep rolling.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here is a look at tonight\u2019s key trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Golden State’s last 7 games when playing on the road against Indiana
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 5 of Golden State’s last 6 games
\nThe total has gone OVER in 4 of Golden State’s last 5 games when playing Indiana
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 16 of Golden State’s last 23 games on the road
\nIndiana is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games when playing Golden State
\nIndiana is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games when playing at home against Golden State
\nIndiana is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home against Golden State
\nThe total has gone OVER in 6 of Indiana’s last 7 games when playing at home against Golden State<\/p>\n

NBA Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Golden State Warriors +7 -110
\nIndiana Pacers -7 -110<\/p>\n

Over 229 -110
\nUnder 229 -110<\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/strong> While I definitely like the Indiana Pacers to win this game at home tonight where they have played well all season long, I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread while pushing Indiana for the outright win. I also think the 229-point Total is way too high despite both team\u2019s ability to score the ball.<\/p>\n
