Why the Pacers can cover

Indiana is coming off a 108-103 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday to give the Pacers their fourth straight victory. Pascal Siakam led the way with 26 points, while Tyrese Haliburton nearly had a triple-double with 16 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds. Myles Turner also inserted his presence both in the paint, on the defensive end, and beyond the arc on the offensive end, as he had 22 points, eight rebounds, three blocks and knocked down 5 of 10 shots from downtown.

Indiana's offense is efficient at all areas on the court, ranking in the top 10 in field goal percentage, 2-point percentage, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage. With that, the Pacers rank eighth in points per game and 10th in offensive rating. Turner ranks second in the NBA with 1.9 blocks per game, and the Pacers also create lots of turnovers via ranking ninth with 8.5 steals per game. Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is questionable, and his presence would be huge as he's averaging 21.5 points and 7.5 rebounds over his last four games. See which team to back at SportsLine.

Why the Timberwolves can cover

Minnesota is coming off a dominant 134-93 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, which avenged a defeat to the Pelicans last Wednesday. Seven different players scored at least 11 points for the T'Wolves, who were led with 20 points by Julius Randle. The bench contributed 65 points, while Anthony Edwards (thumb) who is listed as questionable for Monday but is expected to play, had 17 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals in just 26 minutes.

The Wolves are now 7-4 ATS over their last 11 games, while Indiana, despite being on a four-game win streak, has struggled versus the line recently. The Pacers are 1-3 ATS during this streak, and they've failed to cover in nine of their last 10 games overall. Additionally, with big bodies like Randle, Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid, Minnesota should be able to dominate the glass versus an Indiana team which ranks 29th in both total rebounds per game and offensive rebounds per night. See which team to back at SportsLine.
