Indiana Pacers - Denver Nuggets Basketball prediction

The Indiana Pacers are shorthanded on the 4 & 5 Position which could be a big Problem against Jokic today on the defensive end. Starting Center Myles Turner is out for a longer time, backup Isiaiah Jackson is out too and third string option Goga Bitadze is questionable, so the Question is who should defend Jokic in the Zone. I expect many open Looks from the Joker tonight against the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers just allowed 22 Points by Clint Capela when they faced the Atlanta Hawks. They didnt had a defensive answer and Goga Bitadze had massive defensive Problems in guarding Capela. Capela scored 6 alley oop dunks. That might not be the Game for Jokic, but Bitadze or Terry Taylor wont have a chance to guard Jokic with his Footwork in the Zone. If Jokic forces as many shots he usually takes, he will go 30 + tonights. Also an Value Factor could be the pace tonight, as both Teams played fast lately and both Teams struggled with their defensive Efficiency.
