Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Lakers vs. Pacers game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Pacers to beat the Lakers and a Tyrese Haliburton double-double:
“Haliburton now has 11-straight games with a double-double and an 8-3 record during that span. Haliburton double-doubled in 29 minutes against Minnesota and this Pacers’ squad is 6-1 in the last seven games. Los Angeles is on a three-game losing streak and losses of 12 or more during that stretch (29, 31, 12). It’s Pacers or pass and Haliburton for another double-double over Luka Doncic and LeBron James’ Lakers right now.”
