With all eyes on Wemby, the books have given him the highest scoring prop of 26.5 points and 11.5 rebounds. While he is averaging better than 13 rebounds in eight January games, his scoring isn’t near the prop.

Indiana’s Pascal Siakam is the only other player with a prop over 20 points, at 20.5. He’s cashed that figure in five of his his last six outings.

Teammate Tyrese Haliburton has the highest assist prop at 8.5. Fifth in the NBA at 8.8 assists per contest, Haliburton is averaging 9.5 assists in eight January games, topping that total four times, and finishing with exactly eight assists three other occasions.

San Antonio Spurs vs Indiana Pacers Predictions

• Spurs vs Pacers pick: Pacers -2.5 (-105)

The Pacers are coming off a 115-102 beating of the Philadelphia 76ers.

While Philly isn’t exactly a powerhouse, Indiana isn’t messing around with any opponent, winning by 10 or more points in all eight of their wins during this streak, which includes the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers.

A Top-10 scoring unit, the Pacers have upped their output to a crisp 117.2 points per game over the last nine, shooting 50% from the field and 37.4% from 3-point range.

Couple that with a defense that is holding opponents to to 105.9 points and 45.4% from the field and a grim 31.5% from beyond the arc, and you get a team with a +11.3-point differential during this fun run.

San Antonio starts the day two games back of the Phoenix Suns for the 10th seed in the West and the final play-in berth. They’ve been sliding of late, having lost three straight and getting crushed in the process. After losing a 2-game set at home to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Spurs were belted 128-107 by the Miami Heat.

Overall, the Spurs have just a single win in their last seven. Defensively, they are bleeding points, allowing teams to score 122.3 points per game, with shooting splits of 48% from the field and 39.9% from beyond the arc. Their offense isn’t covering up those problems, either. San Antonio is putting up just 112.3 points per game. Perhaps a matchup with the Pacers might help: the Spurs have won three of the last four meetings, and have covered as underdogs in in those three wins.

But it will be the first meeting between these teams this season, and the Spurs have caught the Pacers at the worst moment. The Pacers are 8-1-0 against the spread in the last nine, and have won and covered the spread in six straight. The French crowd will get a closeup look at their star Wemby — and another Spurs L.

The highly anticipated matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers on January 23 is sure to be an exciting game for basketball fans and bettors alike. Both teams have been performing well this season, making this game a must-watch for NBA enthusiasts.

When it comes to betting on this game, there are a few key factors to consider. The odds for this matchup are likely to be close, as both teams have similar records and talent levels. As of now, the Spurs are slight favorites with odds of -110, while the Pacers have odds of +110.

In terms of player props, there are several options to consider. For the Spurs, DeMar DeRozan is always a solid choice for points scored, as he is the team’s leading scorer. LaMarcus Aldridge is another player to watch, as he has been playing well recently and could have a big game against the Pacers’ defense.

On the Pacers side, Domantas Sabonis has been a standout player this season and is a good bet for points and rebounds. Malcolm Brogdon is another player to keep an eye on, as he has been a consistent scorer for Indiana.

As for predictions, this game could go either way. Both teams have strong offenses and defenses, so it will likely come down to which team can execute better on both ends of the court. The Spurs have a slight edge in terms of experience and coaching, but the Pacers have been playing well as of late.

Overall, this matchup between the Spurs and Pacers is shaping up to be a close and competitive game. Whether you’re a fan of either team or just looking to place a bet, be sure to consider the odds, player props, and predictions before making your final decision. Good luck!
