#NBA Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(NBA) New Orleans vs. Indiana,
Point Spread: -5.50 | -105.00 Indiana (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Indiana Pacers -5.5
Rating: 5/10*

The Indiana Pacers had won five on the bounce prior to being embarrassed in a 140-112 loss to the Nuggets in London, England on Thursday. They've had plenty of time to recover physically and are 23-9-2 ATS in their last 34 games playing on three or more days rest and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. They'll host a New Orleans Pelicans team that makes its final stop on a five-game road trip. The Pelicans lost 107-99 at Chicago on Saturday and are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Pels won the first meeting of the season 102-95 home at New Orleans, but the Pacers are very strong in their own building (15-5 SU and 12-8 ATS). The Pacers are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in the series, and my money is on the home team in this contest.
