What to Know
The Indiana Pacers might have tired legs after a matchup yesterday as they head on the road against the San Antonio Spurs at 9 p.m. ET April 3 at AT&T Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
The Pacers received a tough blow this past Friday as they fell 114-97 to the Charlotte Hornets. Small forward Justin Holiday wasn’t much of a difference maker for Indiana; Holiday played for 29 minutes but put up just nine points on 3-for-13 shooting.
Meanwhile, San Antonio fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Atlanta Hawks this past Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 134-129. Despite the defeat, the Spurs got a solid performance out of small forward DeMar DeRozan, who had 36 points and nine assists in addition to five boards.
Indiana is expected to lose this next one by 7. Now might not be the best time to take Indiana against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past three consecutive games.
Indiana is now 21-26 while San Antonio sits at 24-22. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Pacers rank fourth in the league when it comes to steals per game, with 8.53 on average. But the Spurs come into the game boasting the fewest steals given up per game in the league at 6.1. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
