Once Upon A Time In Las Vegas – Divisional Round
The Denver Nuggets (32-13) will host the Indiana Pacers (23-23) Friday night. These teams last met on November 9, with Denver winning 122-119.
The Indiana Pacers had a better first half of the season than expected but have now lost five straight games and are ninth in the Eastern Conference. They are 1-4 ATS during the current losing streak. It does not help that Indiana has been without the NBA's leading assists man, Tyrese Haliburton, for the last four games and will not have him for at least another week, if not longer.
