Indiana Pacers vs New Orleans Pelicans Betting Preview

The Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans, both sitting at 2-3, square off in what promises to be an intriguing Friday night matchup at the Smoothie King Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET, with the Pacers entering as 4-point favorites despite playing on the road. The moneyline odds reflect Indiana's favored status, with a -175 line, translating to an implied win probability of 61%. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are priced at +150, suggesting a 39% chance of victory.

The Pacers arrive with momentum, having stunned the Boston Celtics 135-132 in their last outing. Entering that game as 7-point underdogs with only a 30% chance of winning, Indiana's victory was a significant upset. However, they've struggled recently, losing three of their last four games. The Pelicans also face challenges, coming off a 104-89 loss to the Golden State Warriors and suffering through a three-game losing streak.

Bettors should keep an eye on the player prop market, particularly Myles Turner's points and rebounds. This market has garnered substantial interest, and sharp bettors are leaning towards the over on Turner's combined points and rebounds, currently set at 21.5 (-110). Many believe this line offers value, making it a popular choice among savvy punters.

While both teams aim to improve their early-season records, the Pacers' recent upset over Boston might give them the edge. However, the Pelicans will look to leverage home-court advantage to snap their losing streak. This matchup offers plenty of betting intrigue, whether you're considering the spread, moneyline, or diving into prop markets.
