Indiana won the first meeting 134-118 on Nov. 8 and the Pacers have won eight of their past 10 games although they do come off a 117-109 defeat at Denver on Sunday after winning at Atlanta two nights before. The Pacers did cover the spread though and they now are 9-1-1 ATS their past 11 games and they lead the league in scoring with 126.1 points per game. Utah allows 118.5 per game and Indiana is 5-0 ATS its past five road contests. The Jazz also have been hot winning five straight following a 132-125 victory over the Lakers on Saturday, but Utah is just 2-5 ATS as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points and the Pacers are 5-2 ATS as underdogs in that range. Indiana has covered six of seven as an underdog and the Pacers have covered five of seven road games against teams with .600 home winning percentages. Take the points with the Pacers as a Max Play.
