NBA Gambling – 2010-2011 Indiana Pacers Sneak Peek

The Indiana Pacers are a youthful squad that will probably have difficulty against the NBA betting prospects this year. The Indiana Pacers merely have one proved scorer in Danny Granger so on most evenings they are going to need to trust they get enough support from other participants to be aggressive.  The Pacers still might be worth an NBA online betsometimes though since they will be longshots on a regular basis.

Prospects to Win the NBA Title at the Sportsbook 150-1 – The Pacers are not going to win the Basketball title this year. Those prospects of 150-1 could too be a million to one.  The Pacers basically don’t have enough skill to compete on a nightly basis in the NBA. They could still cover the spread however and that is what matters when you make an NBA wager.

Last Year’s Record 32-50 SU, 40-41-2 ATS – The Indiana Pacers only won 32 games last season and it might not get much superior this year. They were about .500 versus the point spread last year. That number might go up just considering they’re underrated in online sports wagering.

Forecasted Starting Lineup

Guard – Darren Collison

Guard – Brandon Rush

Center – Roy Hibbert

Forward – Danny Granger

Forward – Tyler Hansbrough

Prediction: The Indiana Pacers took Darren Collison in the off-season and he should help them win a couple of more competitions this year.  The Pacers needed someone to run the floor and Collison can make it happen. He backed up Chris Paul in New Orleans and then started when Paul got injured.  He averaged 12.4 points and 5.7 assists in 76 games a year ago.  Collison may take a lot of the strain off of Granger. Last year it was Granger doing everything for Indiana.  The problem for the Indiana Pacers is that Granger and Collison are everything.  Hansbrough is a hard worker but he does not score very much. Hibbert is a defensive competitor who can’t score whilst Rush is inconsistent. The Pacers can bring Mike Dunleavy Jr. off the bench and maybe he can do something to earn his wage. The Pacers took Paul George in the NBA Draft and he appears like a substantial reach since he likely isn’t going to see much playing time since he plays the same position as Granger.  The Pacers are not going to be a playoff squad this year but they’ve got Granger and now they have Collison so they can be competitive in Basketball gambling on some nights.
