Pacers vs Hawks prediction

Pacers vs Hawks best bet: Andrew Nembhard Over 7.5 assists (-112)

Andrew Nembhard has had to take on a larger role in 2025-26 with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, and while the Indiana Pacers are struggling, he’s played well.

From a playmaking standpoint, the Gonzaga product is averaging an impressive 7.3 assists per game. That ranks eighth in the entire Association. 

Nembhard has cashed the Over in dimes in three of his last four appearances, and he just registered 11 assists on Friday evening against the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

The Atlanta Hawks are nowhere near OKC in terms of defense, and they’re Top 10 in most assists allowed. Atlanta is also considered an easier matchup for point guards, allowing 9.24 dimes per contest to the position. 

He’ll cook as a facilitator this afternoon.
