FanDuel. Bennedict Mathurin has cleared this line in four of five games without Tyrese Haliburton this season. With the Pacers point guard sidelined tonight, and Mathurin coming off back to back 20-point performances, I love this spot for the third-year wing. The Nets bleed transition points and free throws (bottom 8 in each) - Mathurin scores 53% of points via those two playtypes.

A wild week already for the Pacers, winning an OT shootout vs. the T-wolves on Monday before a late rally last night just in time to pull out a 135-131 win over the scrappy, undermanned Mavs. Speaking of scrappy, that's Brooklyn. The Nets aren't winning much but are staying competitive with covers in three straight and five of six while trading punches with some of the big boys, including the Lakers, Cavs, and Celtics twice across the last six games...all covers. Reinforcing our observation that for some reason, Brooklyn is more efficient minus top scorer Cam Thomas, now out. With only one spread cover in eight, Indiana continues to offer poor value. These two will clash again at Indy on Saturday. Play Nets.
