Warriors vs. Pacers Public Betting: Bettors Backing Golden State
Our NBA Public Betting Information page indicates that 64% of public bettors are currently backing the Warriors when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Curry records sixth double-double of season
Stephen Curry finished Thursday’s win over Detroit with 17 points (5-of-21 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes. While Curry recorded his sixth double-double of the season on Thursday, this was far from a clean effort for the Warrior star. He shot 2-of-14 from beyond the arc, which torpedoed his overall field-goal percentage, making fewer than 25% of his attempts. However, Curry has provided top-25 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Warriors visiting the Pacers on Friday, Curry may not play. He’s missed one end of Golden State’s last three back-to-backs.
Haliburton questionable for Pacers on Friday
Tyrese Haliburton (right ankle sprain) is questionable for Friday’s matchup with Golden State. Haliburton finished with a double-double on Wednesday against Chicago, but he apparently picked up this injury in the process. If Hali is ultimately sidelined, expect Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell to step up in his absence.
Warriors vs. Pacers NBA Prediction:
Take Indiana. In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, the Pacers are 8-2 against the spread. Narrow that number down to the last seven meetings and Indiana is 6-1 at the window versus Golden State. The Pacers are also hot overall. They’ve covered they’re last four games at the window, have won four consecutive games straight up and are 7-3 at the window in their last 10 games overall. Meanwhile, the Warriors have dropped seven out of their last 10 games at the window.
Warriors vs. Pacers Betting Prediction: INDIANA PACERS -7.5
