New Orleans is #10 in the NBA in scoring and #13 in rebounds. Anthony Davis had 38 points on 16-of-22 shooting in Sunday's 101-99 win at Oklahoma City. It was the third 30-point effort in four games for Davis, who ranks third in scoring with an average of 24.7 and first in blocked shots per game at 2.9. Indiana is only 5-8 straight-up at home and has lost 8 of 10 overall. The Pacers are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and face a young, hungry New Orleans team. The Pacers are struggling offensively without Paul George. Indiana is off a win, but the Pacers are 11-26-1 ATS following a win. The wagering value is with the visitors to win the game, so play New Orleans on the moneyline.
