We have NBA ATS picks for the Denver Nuggets vs Indiana Pacers, where the Nuggets are 3½-point favorites.

The visitors have played excellent basketball over the last few weeks, but beating the Pacers at home isn’t easy.

There is a healthy respect for the Pacers in sports betting markets. They are only 3½-point underdogs despite losing four of their last five games. However, they all came on the road. The Nuggets have won four of their last five, including wins at Boston and against Indiana. The Pacers have a much better ATS record, which could be a factor. A high-scoring game is expected at BetUS Sportsbook, with the total set at 243.

Nuggets vs Pacers ATS Pick – Nuggets -3½

The Nuggets have a terrible ATS record at 19-25, but their recent winning form is enough to include them at -3½ in the Las Vegas NBA odds.

We were mightily impressed with their 102-100 win over the Boston Celtics on the road. Beating the Celtics at TD Garden was proving seemingly impossible for most teams, but the Nuggets came through.

They have 30 wins on their record, and we expect their ATS statistics to improve over the coming weeks.

Look for Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray to pick apart the Pacers’ defense, which is flimsy at best. They could each score in the 30s and lead by example.
