Pacers vs. Jazz Prediction & Pick

Both of these teams are fighting to stay alive in the NBA Playoff race and at least make the play-in tournament. The Jazz are hanging on by a thread due to the efforts of Lauri Markkanen (24.8 points per game), while the Pacers are sticking around thanks to Tyrese Haliburton (10.1 assists per game).

This game may be in Indianapolis, but it's the road team that enters with a major advantage. The Pacers have been crushed from beyond the arc as they allow an opponent three-point shooting percentage of 37.1% (No. 29 in NBA). The Jazz drain 14.1 three-pointers per game (No. 5 in NBA).

Utah has also won four of its last six games against Indiana, so back the Jazz on Monday night.

Final Score Prediction: Pacers: 121 | Jazz: 123

Pacers vs. Jazz Best Bet

Utah and Indiana each rank among the top-12 teams in pace this season and have motivation to win on Monday night. While Indiana has been beat up from deep, Utah allows 54.2 points in the paint per game (No. 27 in NBA). Expect a ton of three-pointers and easy layups in this cross-conference game.

The total has hit the over in five of Utah's last six games overall as well as in each of its last eight away games. The over has also cashed in four of the Jazz's last five games against a Central Division foe. When these teams met back in December, the game included 258 total points. Trust the trends here.

Bet: Over 238 Points (-110)
