New Orleans Pelicans vs Indiana Pacers Betting Preview

The New Orleans Pelicans, with a struggling record of 5-21, are set to face off against the Indiana Pacers, who hold an 11-15 record, in a matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this Sunday. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:00 PM ET. Despite the Pelicans enjoying a three-day rest advantage since their narrow 111-109 loss to the Sacramento Kings, they face a daunting challenge on the road, having lost 12 consecutive road games.

The Pacers, while not in peak form themselves—losing 15 of their last 25 games—are coming off a confidence-boosting 121-107 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. This was a significant upset, as they entered that game as a 6.0-point underdog with just a 32% chance of winning. However, they are favored in this matchup, with the spread set at Pacers -6.5 and a Moneyline of -275, implying a 71% win probability.

For those considering a wager, the Pelicans are at +230 on the Moneyline, translating to a 29% implied chance of victory. Given their poor road performance and the Pacers' recent momentum, bettors might be swayed by Indiana's home-court advantage.

One player to watch is Trey Murphy III of the Pelicans. His Points, Rebounds, and Assists (PRA) line is currently set at Over 27.5 (-115), a market attracting considerable attention. Sharp bettors seem to believe the Over is mispriced, suggesting potential value in this prop.

With both teams eager to improve their standings, this clash promises an intriguing battle, especially from a betting perspective. Keep an eye on whether the Pelicans can break their road curse or if the Pacers can capitalize on their recent form.
