INDIANAPOLIS – The Atlanta Hawks visit the Indiana Pacers as 3.0-point underdogs in Friday night’s NBA slate. Despite being an underdog in three of their last five games, Indiana is 5-0 straight up and against the spread across that stretch.

Their five-game win streak and earlier success against the Hawks makes the Pacers the best bet at USA online sportsbooks as a 3.0-point favorite. Indiana defeated Atlanta 157-152 in November, soaring over the 253-point game total.
