Indiana aims to improve their outstanding home court record when the Spurs come to town Monday in a game that's being billed as a possible NBA Finals preview. The game is not only a measuring stick to see how the two squads match up against each other, the Pacers need to win in a last ditch effort to secure the #1 overall seed in the postseason.

The Spurs have been great wherever they've played this season including an impressive 27-8 road record. San Antonio's last loss came on February 21st in Phoenix at the end of a long 9 game road trip. Since then Tim Duncan & Co. have rattled off 15 straight wins and have gone 8-1 ATS in their last 9. The Spurs have thrived on offensive balance as witnessed by the fact they've had a different leading scorer in 4 straight games. San Antonio has also scored 103 points or more in 8 of their last 10.

The Pacers flexed some muscle with an 84-83 win over Miami on Wednesday to put to rest a streak in which they lost 3 of 4 games. Indiana has been especially bad against the number lately costing backers money in a 2-8 ATS run. While the Pacers do have the advantage of being at home where they're 33-4 on the year , Monday's game comes immediately after a Sunday afternoon tilt in Cleveland.

The teams met up in San Antonio back in December with Indiana getting the road win as 4 point underdogs in a 111-100 victory. 7 players scored in double figures for the Pacers, led by Paul George's 28 points in a game that went way over the 191.5 total.
