Now let's get into the Pacers vs Wizards match-up.
Tyrese Haliburton to Score 25+ Points (+390)
There's not much the Indiana Pacers fans can look forward to this season as their team tries to tank their way into one of the top two spots in next seasons draft by losing as many games as possible. The one thing they can count on though is consistent production from their point guard Tyrese Haliburton who is averaging 22.6 points per game while shooting 50% from the field and over 41% from downtown. He also knocks down his free-throws at a 92% rate, so if the Wizards decide to play him tight he will punish them from the line. He had 26 points in the game played against Washington a little over a week ago which was the 2nd time in 3 games against them that he went over 20 points. After a pair of sub-par scoring games at Chicago and Philadelphia, I think it's time for Haliburton to get back to scoring 25+ a game and the Wizards are the ideal opponent for that to happen.
