Warriors roll into Indiana gunning for their 27th straight win

After finishing with a disappointing 38-44 record last season, missing the NBA post-season for the first time in five years, Indy has bounced back, winning 10 of 13 to seize second place in the Eastern Conference with a 12-7 record.

However, the Pacers return home following a four-game Western road swing mired in a two-game losing streak, posting a pair of outright losses to Portland and the Jazz as betting favourites.

The club has performed well in the first game back on home hardwood following a multi-game road trip, going 4-1 SU in their last five, and also enjoyed success in recent matchups with the Warriors, going 5-3 SU and ATS in their last eight overall, and 7-1 SU and ATS in their last eight at home against GSW.

No NBA team has ever gone undefeated on a road trip lasting seven or more games. If the Warriors can get past Indiana, they will face another tough test on Friday when they visit the Boston Celtics, winners of their last three at home, before wrapping up their journey in Milwaukee against the Bucks on Saturday.

The Pacers play five of their next six at home, taking on the Heat on Friday before travelling to Detroit to battle the Pistons on Saturday night.

Pistons win streak ends, Gizzlies struggle as underdogs

Detroit saw a four-game SU and ATS win streak end on Monday with a 104-84 loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but can get back on track on Wednesday when they entertain Memphis, before getting their shot at the 1-21 Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

The Grizzlies ride a 9-3 SU run into their Tuesday night matchup with Oklahoma City Thunder, whom they face as 2.5-point home underdogs.

Memphis has produced underwhelming results as a betting underdog this season, going 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS, with their lone victory coming against the struggling Houston Rockets last month.

The Thunder improved to 12-8 SU with a 98-95 win over Sacramento on Sunday, but have been a bitter disappointment, going 2-9 ATS in their last 11, covering just once as favourites during that stretch.

In other NBA betting action on Tuesday night, the Trail Blazers visit the Cleveland Cavaliers as 8.5-point underdogs the Rockets battle Brooklyn as 4.5-point road favourites, and the Kings are favoured by 1.5 over Utah, while the Orlando Magic travel to Denver to face the Nuggets as 3.5-point favourites.
