Utah at Indiana

A pair of top 10 defensive teams meet in this one. Utah is third in the NBA in points allowed, on a 6-1 run UNDER the total. They just finished playing seven of eight at home but now head out on the road where the Jazz have a losing record. The Indiana Pacers are 22-11 straight up at home and worked their way into the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference with three straight wins. Indiana is #10 in points allowed, while the offense is fourth in field goal shooting, and sixth in three-point shooting. They are on a 7-3-1 run UNDER the total, plus 8-3 UNDER against the Western Conference. Indiana has already won at Utah, 109-94, as a +5 dog in January. This is the middle of a three-game homestand for the Pacers, so the wagering value is on the home team to win a defensive duel. Play Indiana on the moneyline and the UNDER.
