NBA Free Premium Play 03/31: San Antonio Spurs @ Indiana Pacers

  
San Antonio  at Indiana 
NBA - 733 San Antonio Spurs @ 734 Indiana Pacers

Play #1


"We've done what you do," West said. "We've had team meetings. We've had players-only meetings. We've had players and the coaches (meetings). We're kind of looking for answers right now, and things don't get any easier."

The Pacers are really struggling lately and they will face tonight, a Spurs’ team that is simply in another level right now.

IND’s problems aren’t the usual “lack of effort or desire”. Note that despite all these late struggles, IND’s defense has been consistently great! They are playing their usual brand of excellent defensive basketball! However, the same thing can’t be said about their offense.

IND just can’t get deep post positions in a consistent basis, they aren’t “screening” well and they are struggling to hit outside shots. Lowly teams have been able to hang around w/ them because they can defend decently the Pacers’ offense.
On the other end, SAS can beat a franchise record tonight if they defeat the Pacers. Unlike the Pacers, we have a confident team w/ a second unit that can easily outscore their opponents’ starting lineups.

In the first H2H game between these two teams, the Pacers went to SAS and beat the Spurs 111-100! They scored 111 points… Why? Well, w/ just 26 points in the paint + 26 FTM’s, the Pacers hit:

5-12 FG (42%) from 10-15 feet
11-18 FG (61%) from 16-23 feet
9-19 3pts (47.4%)

That was the time when Paul George couldn’t miss mid/long range jumpers…time has changed and for tonight I expect some payback from the Spurs.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 733 San Antonio Spurs (-4) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5 Dimes
