The set-up: The Pacers come in off back-to-back road wins and they'll be playing without Victor Oladipo, their main offensive weapon. The Lakers have lost two straight after a five-game win skein, including a humbling defeat in Denver last time out. I think the Pacers go through the motions today and I believe "The King" will lay the hammer down from start to finish in this favorable matchup. This spread could easily be a lot larger in my opinion.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but LA is 7-2 ATS in its last nine non conference home games on the heels of a two games or more SU/ATS losing streak. Lay the points.
