NBA Picks, Odds, Prediction: Pacers vs Wizards Betting Preview

The Wizards host the Pacers in an Opening Night rematch. Washington dominated the boards on opening night. Myles Turner is expected to return for the game. Joe Dellera previews the match and shares his best bet.

The Indiana Pacers have just one win in five games. The Wizards are off to a good start to the season.

Tyrese Haliburton has been excellent to start the season. Bennedict Mathurin has also been good. Myles Turner's return to the team is a boost for the Pacers. Pacers play at the seventh-fastest Pace in the league (102.8) and Wizards are sixth-quickest in Opponent Time of Possession (14.0 seconds). Pacers need to push the Pace to keep the Wizards off balance on defense.

The Wizards are missing Corey Kispert and Delon Wright. They are having a difficult start to the season. Their defense is their only saving grace. The Wizards dominated the boards against the Pacers on October 19. Turner should help them to control the rebounds and score more points in the paint.

The Pacers and Wizards are playing an early season rematch. Myles Turner twisted his ankle and was ruled out of the opener. The game was moved to Washington and the spread has moved 6.5 points from the initial line.
