We’re back for a packed Friday slate as we dial into the three spots I’m on to take us into the weekend. And below we’ll take a closer look at Pacers vs. Bucks.

Today's Best NBA Bets: Pacers vs. Bucks

Let's take a closer look.

Pacers vs. Bucks

While this game should be a blowout on paper, a closer look has me believing that this Pacers team could keep things close. Despite losing eight of their past night, five of those losses have come on the road. Of the three at home, the Pacers have covered in two and are now one of the best home teams ATS in the league at 16-9.

With Bobby Portis and Serge Ibaka already out of the lineup for the Bucks, they’ll also be taking the court with a hobbled Giannis Antetokounmpo. Having covered just 1 of their last two and going 1-4 ATS in their previous five on the road, I think the Bucks allow this one to stay inside the number.

Bet: Pacers +7.5 (-110)
