NBA - 501 New Jersey Nets @ 502 Indiana Pacers
Projected line: Indiana by 13 points
The Nets are coming from a game where they got confused by the lineup of the Raptors. They tried to post up more with their size advantage, but they simply weren't ready for that and lost their offensive flow, with just 5-19 FG on spot up plays! Humphries was almost invisible with 1-4 FG and 8 boards! New Jersey had a small edge on offensive rebounds rate, but Toronto was more aggressive and easy won the game. For this game, New Jersey has a lot of absences: Okur, Stevenson, Brooks and Lopez. They basically have no bench for tonight! They have been a good rebounding team, but for this game, they will be crushed by the Pacers frontcourt, who has more size and depth!
Indiana is coming from a big win in Orlando, where they had a super game offensively, with a tremendous edge in the paint against Howard. Their offense has been more fluid, especially as Granger is playing better and in their wins at Chicago and at Orlando, he shot 9-16 FG and 10-20 FG! With the improved outside game of the Pacers, Indiana will have more space for their frontcourt and so, their flow is obviously better on offense. Their bench was amazing against Orlando and the Pacers have clearly a good matchup against the Nets, as their best offensive game of the season so far was exactly what New Jersey. I expect a blowout win for Indiana against the injury-riddled Nets and so, I'll take Indiana tonight.
