(NBA) Indiana vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers.

I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Wednesday. The Lakers just won their most recent game and that ended a 3 game losing skid they were on. Their win came at home and they found a way to grind out a 6 point win over the Jazz who had all of their starters playing in that game. They have had a really tough schedule lately and i think they are going to have a much easier time in this game pulling away with a lead and maintaining it. They just won over the Jazz who are 1 of the best teams in the league and 2 of their previous 3 losses were against the Nuggets and Grizzlies who have both become red hot lately. They also lost 2 of those games on the road and they have looked a lot better on their home court this year than on the road. Not only do they have a better home record but, they have won 5 of their previous 6 home games with that 1 loss coming against the Grizzlies who just came off a massive double digit win streak. I think the Lakers are going to get a bit of a break in this game since the Pacers have been terrible this year. Not only do the Pacers have 14 more losses than wins this year but, they have only won 3/20 road games too. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row and I expect them to continue their losing skid after this game. They have 1 win in their previous 11 games and they have lost 8 games in a row on the road now. Their last road win actually came back in November of 2021 and I really don't think they are going to end that road win drought here. The Lakers have also been getting healthier lately and they should have some more bench depth for this game. We are already more than halfway through the season and the Lakers have really underperformed, sitting in a measly 8th spot in the West. They have looked a lot better in games lately though and i think they are going to start getting hot as they get healthier. There are a lot of questions about the Lakers right now but I think LeBron is going to do what he does best here and carry his team to victory while shutting up all the critics. I expect the Lakers to start turning on the jets soon and I think they are going to beat up on a bad Pacers team here. I like the Lakers to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 114-98 Lakers.
