Premium Pick
1 unit on Indiana +2.5 (-103) (risk 1 to return 1.97)
Result:
LOSS

Ja Morant made an immediate impact in his frst game off a long suspension as he drained the winning shot in a two point win at New Orleans. This Memphis team needed a lift and getting their big horse back in the stable is going to improve the psyche of this team considerably. It appears, at least at the moment that the league is adjusting to the Indiana free style of putting up quick shots and trying to out-score opponents. The Pacers are still over .500, but just 2-5 in their last seven games with all five of the losses coming by 14 or more points. Tonight however I think they have the edge. Morant is not completely ready to go up and down at a frenetic pace, and in this game his game stamina is going to limit what he does. Go with Indiana in this one.
