Detroit vs Indiana Bets welcome NBA betting back after a week off. Yes, it felt longer. So, we go into a familiar direction on Thursday night. Yes, Bovada Vegas online sportsbook sees if the Pacers can keep the Pistons from getting win number nine on the season. Also, could Indiana help hitting a few props for us too? Expect a heated game as the two teams want to come out of the break with a win.
Detroit vs Indiana Bets hammer in a point with this Thursday night game. Okay, the Detroit Pistons were supposed to be better this season and then that 28-game losing streak happened. Since then, things have not been as bad but Detroit is still a mere 6-17 in that span. That includes three-straight losses. Another road game expects to not help matters much as the Pacers have scored plenty against Detroit this season.
Honestly, the Pacers only beat the Pistons by eight points in their last meeting. However, that was on the road. The one constant theme is this. Detroit is 1-10 versus their own division. That is correct. Worse, the Pistons yield 122 points a game and close to 125 a night on the road. Their last game saw them lose to 16 on the road against Phoenix in a contest where both teams seemed more interested in the upcoming All-Star Break.
Alright, the young guards expect to play err get sucked into the higher tempo against a team like Indiana. Now, turnovers are more likely as well. This feeds into the hands of the Pacers. It was partly why they won the home meeting by over 20 points. Do we expect that again? Now, this is a great question. Indiana only needs to win by 12 or more points in order to cover.
So, shopping here made little difference as 11.5 seemed like the locked-in spread for Thursday night. Therefore, our plan remains simple. Take the easy spread at -110 as Indiana expects to win by a dozen or more points in their return from the All-Star Break.
Let us explore more with Indiana on Thursday night. Detroit vs Indiana bets ponder looking at a few game props to start. That is because NBA Vegas Prop Online Bets examine choices that most other bettors would shy away from. First off, the game props are going to get a ton of play here. After all, there lies some low-hanging wagers for bettors to take advantage of.
So, the last two meetings have seen the teams combine for over 500 points. That gives us a boost with a number as high as 247.5. It will be a challenge for the two teams to get there as both can throw in some clunkers. Again, few expect a 116-100 game like Detroit had before the break. Indiana’s last three wins have seen them average 128 points a night.
This homestand comes at a great time for Indiana and features four winnable games. Furthermore, this team averages 123.7 points per game which leads the NBA and plays at the second-best pace overall. Again, as we mentioned above, Detroit’s younger players expect to get sucked into a higher-scoring contest. That encourages this bet.
So, that -105 number for the Team Over at 130.5 in the Detroit vs Indiana Bets is the first wager. Yes, it is far from the only prop. Again, the Game Over at 249.5 is at +115 currently. Furthermore, there are still player props and more on the horizon.
Detroit vs Indiana bets hit the accelerator. Thankfully, this weekend showed that most of the All-Stars should be well rested. After all, like Indiana and Detroit, they hardly played any defense. Okay, maybe that was a low blow. Either way, expect points and player props should be a good deal of fun. Looking on the offensive side appears reasonable.
Player points are first on our wagers list. Tyrese Haliburton will be counted on heavily in our props. His over is set only at 20.5 (-110). That seems a small price to play for what should be an easy hit. If that was not enough, let’s get into the assists. The Over of 11.5 is high at -130 but he had 16 in their last meeting. Consider this as well. It only makes sense to go into the PRA (points-rebounds-assists). At 35.5 (-115), Haliburton reigns on the Over here.
Yes, how far should we go here? Cade Cunningham set at only 33.5 for his PRA (-105) is intriguing enough. After that, there is Jaden Ivey. Make sure Ivey is fully 100% to go. He did get a little banged up before the All-Star Break. His numbers are good but they could shift right before game time.
Again, it is a solid idea to take some different combinations here. Do not be afraid sometimes to toss a few dollars off the beaten path. If the plays are there, then why not go take your shot. The Cade Cunningham double-double is interesting at +200. Also, the Haliburton PRA at 40+ rolls in at +130. That has a little value too on Thursday night.
Thursday NBA Online betting odds get a boost. Simply, with 12 games on the slate, there is something for every level of bettor out there. There is even a Lakers-Warriors game from Golden State as the Warriors try to right what has been another uneven season. That Clippers-Thunder matchup should be quite a clash as well. Good luck and bet wisely!
