Indiana Pacers Odds

Indiana Pacers 2021-22 Season

The Indiana Pacers came into the 2021-22 NBA season with some relatively high expectations. While no one expected the Pacers to be a top team in the Eastern Conference, many assumed that they would be competing for a playoff spot. That has not been the case in Indy. The Pacers limped into the All Star break having lost the majority of its recent games and trading their franchise player away for young talent to build around in the future.

The Pacers are not technically eliminated from playoff contention, but this is a team that looks like it has its eyes to the future with hopes of scoring talent in the 2022-23 lottery draft.

Betting on the Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers are likely to be underdogs for most of their games in the second half of the season, but they continue to play teams close. They could make for an interesting team to bet on for the rest of the year. Here are some common bet types.

• Moneyline
• Point Spread
• Over/Under
• Props
• Futures Odds

Pacers Moneyline

A moneyline bet requires a bettor to correctly pick the winner of the game. If you pick the winner of the game correctly, you will win the bet. How much you win will be determined by your wager amount and the associated moneyline for the team you bet on. Here's an example using a recent Pacers game against the Bulls.

• Bulls -125 moneyline
• Pacers +106 moneyline

Chicago is the team favored to win this game, which is indicated by the minus sign (-) next to their moneyline. Indiana is the underdog denoted by the plus sign (+) next to their moneyline. The moneyline number signifies the potential payout for each team. Someone betting on Chicago would have to bet $125 to win $100 whereas a bettor would win $106 with a wager of $100 on Indiana.

Pacers Spread

Users can also place a point spread wager on the Chicago Bulls. This requires a bettor to correctly select the margin of victory by a particular team, rather than simply who wins. Here's the same Pacers vs. Bulls matchup as an example.

• Bulls -2 (-110)
• Pacers +2 (-110)

Oddsmakers set a margin of victory total known as the spread. In this game, Chicago has to win by 3 or more points to beat this spread and Indiana either has to win the game outright or lose by 1 point to beat the spread. Point spreads also have an additional element known as juice, or the vig, which is the tax paid to the sportsbook for each bet. The juice is indicated next to the point spread. This number is used to determine a wager payout. For a bet on the Bulls, a bettor would earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked. Someone betting on Indiana would also earn a profit of $100 for every $110 risked.

Pacers Over/Unders

Betting on over/under totals looks at the cumulative final score between two teams, not the winner or loser of the game. Bettors are required to accurately predict if the teams combine higher or lower than a number set by oddsmakers. Oddsmakers set the over/under total for Pacers vs. Bulls at 228 points.

• Over 228 points (-112)
• Under 228 points (-109)

Again, juice or vig comes into play with over/unders. Betting over 228 points means in this case that a bettor would have to wager $112 to earn $100. Betting under 228 points would mean a bettors would earn $100 for every $109 risked.

Pacers Prop Bets

Instead of betting on team outcomes, Pacers fans can also use prop bets to wager on their favorite Indiana players. Bettors then have the opportunity to guess whether those players will go over or under the set line to win money. Some popular prop bets include how many points a player will score, who will score first, how many rebounds a player gets, and many more.

Pacers Future Odds

Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Pacers to make the playoffs, win the Central Division, win the Eastern Conference, or win the NBA Finals. While none of these things are likely for the Pacers this season, these are the types of bets fans may want to look at next season if the Pacers are able to reload effectively in the offseason.
