The postseason has started early for the Indiana Pacers, who are bringing a sense of urgency into their final 19 games of the regular season. Indiana looks to continue its upward trend when it visits the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.

The Pacers posted its 2nd straight win on Tuesday with an impressive 124-122 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Tyrese Haliburton scored 32 points to lead the Pacers, while Myles Turner added 24.

Time is of the essence for Indiana, which sits two games out of 10th place and a spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament.

Turner has been leading the team’s recent charge. The 6-foot-11 center is averaging 29.3 points per game on 69.3 percent shooting in three games since the All-Star break. He made 10 of 13 field goals in Tuesday’s win.

The Pacers also received a spark from SF Jordan Nwora, acquired from the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 9. He had 18 points with eight rebounds and six assists in Saturday’s 128-108 win over the Orlando Magic.

San Antonio beat Utah on Tuesday for its first road win since mid-December. Keldon Johnson scored 25 points, Doug McDermott added 19, and Jeremy Sochan had 13. Johnson is averaging 21.8 points this season for the Spurs.

He scored four points in the final minute to seal the victory over the Jazz. San Antonio turned in one of its best defensive efforts of the season against Utah, which shot a season-low 35.3 percent from the field. 

The Spurs snapped a 16-game losing streak with a 102-94 win over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday.

Popovich has been encouraged by the development of rookie guard Blake Wesley, who has made a case for more playing time while averaging 7.3 points on 7-of-17 shooting over his last three games.

Indiana is looking to avenge a 137-134 loss to San Antonio in the second game of the season on Oct. 21. The Spurs never trailed in the contest.

• The total went OVER in 6 of San Antonio’s last 8 matches with the Pacers.
• The San Antonio Spurs are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games at home.
• The Spurs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games at home against Indiana. 

Indiana Pacers vs San Antonio Spurs. The NBA pick for this contest is the Indiana Pacers. It is more likely for the OVER to run as San Antonio’s defense will give up a lot of points while Indiana’s defense struggles at times.

The Spurs are 34-26-2 in hitting the over which is fourth in the NBA while at home while San Antonio is 16-12. The Pacers are 30-32-1 but get a good matchup here for the over to hit against this Spurs defense.

The Spurs are playing at a pace of 102.9 which ranks sixth while their defensive efficiency ranks 30th. Indiana, meanwhile, plays at a pace of 102.7 which ranks eighth so I do expect a very high-fast paced game here.

The Pacers’ last five games averaged 245 ppg while San Antonio’s is averaging 226 PPG. Take Indiana to win predicted to a score of 123-117.
