The Nuggets are 1.5-point favorites in the latest Pacers vs. Nuggets odds, while the over-under for total points scored is set at 212.5.

- Pacers vs. Nuggets spread: Nuggets -1.5
- Pacers vs. Nuggets over-under: 212.5 points
- Pacers vs. Nuggets money line: Pacers +104, Nuggets -124
- IND: The Pacers are third in the league in field goal percentage at 47.2
- DEN: The Nuggets are 7-3 over their past 10 games
Why the Nuggets can cover
The model has taken into account that Denver has raced out to another fast start this season and has seen consistent improvement under fifth-year coach Michael Malone. After going 33-49 in his first year, the Nuggets improved by seven games in his second season, six the following year and eight last season and have gone 202-167 (.547) during his tenure. Plus, Denver is 4-1 against the spread in its last five games after allowing 100 points or more in its previous game.
The Nuggets are led by Nikola Jokic, who is averaging a team best 19.2 points, 9.9 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. He has scored 20 points or more in six of his last nine games, including a 47-point performance at Atlanta on Jan. 6 before following that up two nights later with 33 points at Dallas. Even so, Denver isn't a lock to cover the Nuggets vs. Pacers spread on Sunday.
Why the Pacers can cover
The model knows Indiana has also been among the league's best over the past decade. Indiana, which is 9-4 against Western Conference opponents, is looking for its fifth straight winning season and fourth straight playoff appearance. The Pacers have made the postseason in eight of nine years, and are 165-123 (.573) under fourth-year coach Nate McMillan. Indiana is also 4-1 against the spread in its last five games following an against-the-spread loss.
Offensively, the Pacers are led by T.J. Warren, who is averaging 18.1 points and 3.9 rebounds. Warren has been on fire over the last 10 games with six games of 20 or more points, including 36 in a win at Charlotte on Jan. 6. He scored 28 on Friday night against Minnesota.
