Top Bet’s Games to Bet On

Indiana Pacers vs. Atlanta Hawks (7:30 PM ET)

[sc:NBA240banner ]The Indiana Pacers seem to have finally put their recent hiccups behind them. They’ve now won back-to-back games after yesterday’s 98-79 win over the Orlando Magic. The suddenly porous Pacers defense has yet to hold an opponent below 80 points since January 10th. The Pacers are 7-3 in their last 10 road games.

Odds: Pacers (-3) vs. Hawks (+3); O/U: 197.5

Tonight the Pacers face their ultimate bogey team, the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks won 97-87 in their first meeting at home in January, stretching their regular season winning streak vs. the Pacers to an astounding 12 games. Atlanta is 9-1 SU in its last 10 home games vs. Indy.

Chicago Bulls vs. Phoenix Suns (9:00 PM ET)

Chicago started a six-game Western road trip with a big win, but two straight losses have sent the Bulls back to below .500. Last night’s loss against the last-placed Kings was especially uninspiring, as the Bulls shot a dismal 52.2% from the field. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS in last 10 road games.

Odds: Bulls (+6.5) vs Suns (-6.5); O/U: 194.5

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns continue their improbable success this season. The Suns have won five games in a row, including a second win over the East-leading Pacers last week. All-Star Goran Dragic has been on a tear, averaging over 26 PPG in his last four games. Phoenix is 7-3 SU in its last 10 home games.
