They have now gone 4-20 after\u00a0surprising everyone with a 4-5 start early in the season.<\/p>\n<p>The previous two losses pretty much show how the Nets lose most of their games. Against the Jazz, they\u00a0kept the game close for\u00a0three quarters\u00a0before faltering and getting outscored by 12 points in the final frame. Versus the Wizards, they were simply blown out and were on a hard chase all throughout the contest.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that the team is in a rebuilding process, and will be for at least couple more years. Their league-worst record and awful stats indicate as much. Along with inconsistent shooting\u00a0(43.9 percent, 24th overall) and a 27th-ranked defensive efficiency, they also turn the ball over (17.2 per game) and give up the most points (114 PPG) in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Brook Lopez (20.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.9 threes per game)\u00a0is still their number one option, which is toeing the line of good and bad, because\u00a0despite being a good scoring and shooting big man, he&#8217;s possibly one of the worst rebounding centers in a\u00a0long time.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Nets are also getting solid contributions from Trevor Booker (9.9 PPG, 9.2 RPG), Sean Kilpatrick (15.3 PPG), and Bojan Bogdanovic (14.2 PPG).<\/p>\n<p>The Nets are 1-16 on the road this season (7-7-3 ATS), and have already lost to the Pacers by 21 in mid November.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Indiana Pacers (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/nba\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>TBA<\/strong><\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>After four\u00a0consecutive defeats, Paul George and company have responded well, winning three straight games to put the team back in the .500 mark. They are now 18-18 and seventh in the East.<\/p>\n<p>In their most \u00a0recent win, they edged out the Pistons, 121-118, their most points this season through four quarters. George is providing a big lift in the\u00a0said stretch, averaging 27.7 points on 50 percent shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The Pacers are also enjoying the breakout year of Myles Turner. The second-year center is proving to have a great future and has shown\u00a0good efficiency on both ends of the floor. In under 30 minutes of action per game, he&#8217;s putting up 15.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks.<\/p>\n<p>With the aforementioned dreadfulness of the visitors, the two\u00a0should have no problem doing what they do. Expect them\u00a0along with the whole unit, to keep pounding it down low, especially with the Nets allowing the sixth-most points in the paint (40.8 per game).<\/p>\n<p>Indy was\u00a0also able to dominate the Nets in their previous meeting several weeks back. In that\u00a0118-97 thumping, six Pacers were in double figures and the team collectively shot 55.2-percent from the field. Remember, too, that George, the best player between both squads, sat out the game with an injured ankle.<\/p>\n<p>The Pacers are 13-5 at home this season (10-8 ATS).<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Pacers win, 115-105.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create
