Fanduel Odds

This is going to be a great game. The Wizards closed the season out on a tear, and the Pacers looked unstoppable in their last game against the Hornets, who needed a win to advance. I think this will be a tough game from both sides, and will come down to the wire. I think the Wizards have a strong core group but do not have a supporting cast to keep up with the Pacers who are a very deep team. I think they continue their great play against the Wizards who really struggled in their last game, partly because Beal is still dealing with a serious hamstring injury which clearly hindered his game and bothered him. Take the Pacers +3.5, under 237 total points, Rui Hachimura over 13.5 points, and Bradley Beal under 31.5 points.
