I have to give the Pacers their flowers, too, as they&#8217;re 16-5 with a +5.9 net rating (sixth) in the same span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Indiana has struggled mightily on back-to-backs this season with a 2-6 ATS record and -8.8 average margin of defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver has won and covered a -2.5 spread in eight straight games against Indiana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Jokic 12+ rebounds<\/strong><\/strong> <\/strong>(-190):<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> Jokic is averaging 12.7 rebounds per game, which ranks third in the NBA and is the second-highest mark of his career outside his 2021-22 MVP season (13.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So all I&#8217;m asking of the Serbian superstar is an average performance in an above-average matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pacers are 27th in rebounding rate (48.5%) and give up the sixth-most rebounds per game to opposing centres (15.9), according to Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indiana has no seven footers in the starting lineup with Myles Turner being the only player standing above 6-foot-8. Jokic has cleared this mark in three straight games and should feast on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Gordon over 13.5 points<\/strong> <\/strong>(-117):<\/strong> Gordon has made a career out of abusing the dunker&#8217;s spot and tonight should be no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high-flying power forward draws a dream matchup against the Pacers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Indiana allows the fifth-most PPG in the paint (50.4), per Team Rankings.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It also allows the fourth-most PPG to opposing power forwards.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gordon has scored 18+ points in three straight matchups with Indiana.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 29-year-old has cleared this mark in both games coming out of the all-star break, dropping 18 and 24 points while shooting above 60.0% from the field in each game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Picks made at 9:00 a.m. ET on 02\/24\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m bullish on the Denver Nuggets as they take on an Indiana Pacers team playing its second game in as many nights.
