LINE MOVEMENT

Indiana opened as a 1-point favorite but the line has dropped to either a pick’em or 1 (in favor of Utah), depending on which sportsbook you view. As for the total, it opened at 200 and that’s where the number currently sits.

PUBLIC BETTING

As of this writing, 59% of the betting tickets wagered at online sportsbooks are on the Jazz to cover the spread tonight. The majority of betting tickets are also on the over.

KEY INJURY TO WATCH

Derrick Favors (neck) is questionable to play for the Jazz while Darren Collison (knee) remains out for the Pacers.

BETTING STRATEGY

The Jazz are hot on the court but not at the betting window. They have covered just two times in their last eight games and are 1-5 at the window in their last six games coming off a win. On the other side, the Pacers are 7-2 against the spread in their last nine games overall, are 4-1 against the number in their last five home games, and have covered the spread in five of their last six games coming off a win.
