The Indiana Pacers and Washington Wizards tip off at Capital One Arena for the second straight night.

The hosts eked out a low-scoring win on Thursday, and I’m expecting the two teams to cash another Under in my Pacers vs. Wizards predictions & NBA picks for Friday, February 20.

Pacers vs Wizards best bet: Under 231 (-110)

Tonight’s game between the Indiana Pacers and Washington Wizards is certainly not the most exciting offensive matchup, with Indiana (111 ppg; 28th) and Washington (112.1 ppg; 25th) both ranking in the bottom six in scoring.

To make matters worse for the Pacers, they’ll be without three starters tonight, including two of their top four scorers in Pascal Siakam and Aaron Nesmith.

The Pacers have been a cash cow for Unders this season, hitting the Under in 58.9% of their games – tied for the fifth-most in the NBA.

These teams combined for just 217 points last night and will cash another Under tonight.
