Pacers Notes: Haliburton among top guards for NBA All-Star votes, Pacers tend to beat the odds

The NBA All-Star voting is well underway and Friday all votes count triple. Tyrese Haliburton is among the top ten backcourt players in the East. In the West, there were six Warriors and Russell Westbrook among top players. The popularity contest for the starting spots leans heavily on the most popular teams and veteran players, but it may come down to players on teams that have more success.

The Pacers are slight favorites against the Blazers on Friday night. They are 6-3 against odds in the last 9 games this season. The Pacers have won big moneyline bets against Philly, Golden State, Brooklyn and Boston.
