Indiana Pacers
Moneyline Pick: Indiana (-130) - B+

Tyrese Haliburton’s outstanding court vision has propelled the Pacers on a four-game surge, while the Timberwolves limp in after dropping their last two matchups. Indiana’s frontline may get a boost if Myles Turner shakes off a minor ankle concern, but Minnesota’s resilience depends on sealing the paint without giving up mid-range looks. Historically, the Pacers have fared well against visiting Western Conference foes in this building, translating to solid momentum and a decent payout, which earns this pick a confident B+ rating.

Over/Under Pick: Over 231, (+110) - B+
Anthony Edwards has been torching opponents during the Timberwolves’ current two-game winning streak, setting the stage for a potential high-scoring showdown against a Pacers squad riding a three-game tear of their own. With both Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton active, Indiana’s offense looks lethal, although Buddy Hield’s minor ankle concern may hamper them slightly if he’s not at full strength. Historically, these two teams light up the scoreboard when clashing against Eastern Conference foes, often surpassing the 115-point mark each. Despite adjustable defensive schemes on both sides, the combined firepower suggests a large payout for risk-takers who lean toward a loftier total.
Spread Pick: Indiana Pacers, -2 (-115) - A-

Minnesota will lean heavily on Anthony Edwards as their three-game losing slide contrasts Indiana’s four consecutive wins, and the Pacers remain at near full strength with Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner active. The Timberwolves, missing key minutes from an injured guard rotation, have struggled against Eastern Conference opponents lately, allowing the Pacers’ effective pick-and-roll to excel in recent matchups. While the Wolves’ size advantage with Rudy Gobert might influence rebounding, Indiana’s faster perimeter offense and consistent success against Western rivals tilt this line in the Pacers’ favor. This bet justifies an A- confidence rating, with a hearty return for those taking the spread at -2, especially if momentum propels the Pacers to a comfortable margin to close out the final quarter.
