Best NBA Betting Picks: Pacers Hold ATS Value

· Jan 06 - 3 minutes read

We have four NBA games to pull picks from on Saturday, so we are limited in our options. Lucky for us, the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers Eastern Conference clash provides both NBA betting value on the spread, but there is also a quality player prop to profit on.

The Pacers are six-point underdogs, playing host, and are 6-1 in their last seven games. Boston has an identical 6-1 record in its last seven games, but the Celtics’ last two losses were upsets on the road.

Indiana Pacers +6 (-110)

Regarding NBA bets today, I’m siding with the streaking Pacers not necessarily to win but to cover this thick spread. While the Celtics are the team to beat in the NBA, they do not cover spreads consistently on the road. At 6-9-2 ATS, the Celtics are a bottom-five team regarding return on investment (ROI) on the road, which sits at -20.80.

Conversely, at home, the Pacers are one of the more profitable options to bet online at 11-7 with a 16.41% ROI.

Jayson Tatum 25+ Points and BOS to Win (-110)

Tatum has gotten off to a hot start in 2024 with back-to-back 30+ point games against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz. While his scoring prop is a solid NBA bet, adding the Celtics to win dramatically boosts the betting value from around -210 to -110.
