JD's NBA Eastern Conf Game of the Week

Indiana vs. Philadelphia, 02/06/2013 19:00 EDT, Score: 88 - 69

Point Spread: +2½/-107 Indiana

Sportsbook: Pinnacle

Result: Win

Today's winner is Indiana over Philadelphia. This is my Eastern Conference Game of the Week.

Due to a make-up game, Indiana will have to play their 3rd game in just as many nights. But I am not worried about the team being tired. The Pacers are on a roll and if it weren't for the scheduling situation, would be the favorite here. Indiana won their L4 SU, covering their L5. They have taken down such top teams as Miami, Chicago, and Atlanta while Philly is riding a 3-game streak but there is a huge difference in competition. The 76ers beat the Wizards, Kings, and Magic, who are a combined 59 games under .500. With Richardson missing the L7 games and Young now sidelined, the 76ers are in a jam. Take Indiana. Thank you.
