Indiana has a winning record both home and away leading the NBA in scoring with 126.6 points per game. They're also No. 1 in field goal shooting (50.9%) and second from 3-point land (39%). They've won three in a row, including as underdogs at Houston (123-117) and Chicago (120-104). The Pacers have covered seven in a row against teams that average seven or fewer steals. Milwaukee is home from a four-game road trip. The Bucks are 35-55 ATS off two or more straight road victories, plus 110-148 ATS at home after having won three of four. And NBA road dogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points like Indiana that allow 114+ points per game are 93-59 ATS versus an opponent that has topped 115 points in the last two contests. Play Indiana.
