by Greg Dempson
- Indiana is 7-3 ATS at home when
facing foes with a straight up winning
record.

from home and playing a team with
a straight up winning record.
- The Pacers are 28-15 ATS when
off a home loss.
The ball tips at 7:00 ET as the
Pacers host the Grizzlies at
Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis
This is the first game back
for each team since the All-Star break
and despite all the trade rumors, Paul
George is staying put.
Memphis has won three of their
last five as well as five out of their
last seven on the road. Chandler
Parsons, who signed a four year $94
million dollar contract, is averaging
6.5 PPG with limited playing time.
The Pacers exit the All-Star game
having lost six in a row including lack
luster home contests vs. Oklahoma,
Cleveland, Milwaukee, San Antonio
and Washington. Even though they
are mired in a slump I still make them
a 2.5-point favorite and as of this
report the line is pick ‘em.
Winning Angles
- The Pacers are 10-2 ATS at home
this season when the total is between
200 to 209.5.
- Memphis is on a 1-5 ATS losing
streak vs. Eastern Conference
opponents.
- Indiana is 16-5 ATS at home when
off a double-digit defeat.
- The host team has covered seven
of the last 10 in this series.
- The Pacers are 26-11 ATS when
playing four or less games in 10
days.
- The Grizzlies are 3-16 ATS when
on the road and playing a team
that’s winning between 51% to 60%
of their games.
All Systems Go
Play on all home teams when the
line is + or -3 points when off a
home loss and playing three or less
games in 10 days. This system is
72-35 = 67% ATS when backing the
Pacers since 1997.
This Week’s Selection
I’m backing the Pacers tonight at
pick ‘em.
Winfo Record in Review
My over selection on the Cal Golden
Bears/Stanford Cardinal was a
winner. My Ivy league selection on
Brown was indeed poison so I went
1-1 ATS last week. My overall hoops
record is 2-1-1 ATS
