Indiana at Phoenix

Indiana lost 129-126 to Denver on Sunday while shooting 58.5 percent from the field and scoring 66 points in the first half. Monta Ellis scored 24 points and Myles Turner came off the bench to finish with 25 points but it wasn't enough to outscore the Nuggets. Fortunately for the Pacers they face a Phoenix team that is self destructing, having lost four games in a row and 13 of its last 14, including a humiliating 30-point loss to hapless Minnesota on Sunday.  Brandon Knight scored 20 points but the Suns were just 3-of-15 from three-point range. Phoenix is 0-4 ATS its last four games and playing its first home game after a three-game road trip. The Pacers beat the Suns 116-97 on Jan. 12, which was their last win. Indiana should focus on defense tonight as the Pacers are 8-1 ATS after allowing at least 125 points dating to last season. The Suns are 1-5 ATS after a loss and 1-4 following an ATS loss. Play the Pacers.
