5*
(NBA) Indiana vs. Washington,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Win
Bradley Beal being listed as questionable is a major concern heading into this game and the Wiz won their opener but Toronto only shot 30% in that game. It’s so early in the season, and the team is already missing Rui Hachimura. This isn’t the same Wizards team now that Russell Westbrook is gone. Even with the defense down in the dumps, the team could at least benefit from the elite scoring from Westbrook and Beal. And now, there’s a chance neither will be on the floor in this one. This thing could quickly turn into an offensive implosion. The Pacers will clean up their turnover act and pile up the buckets against a Wizards team that’ll still show defensive cracks. I’m rolling with Indiana Pacers in this one as they had 18 turnovers in their opener and should bounce back with a much cleaner game Friday night.
