Stephen Nover's NBA Sunday Spread Crusher - 8-1 NBA Hot Streak
(NBA) Indiana vs. Portland, 12/04/2022 9:00 PM, Score: 100 - 116
Point Spread: 3.00 | -106.00 Indiana (Away)
Result: Loss
The Trail Blazers return to Portland following a 116-111 road victory against the Jazz last night. They'll find an angry Pacers squad there to greet them.
After nipping the Lakers on the road this past Monday, the Pacers have gotten blown out in their last two games, road defeats to the Kings on Wednesday and Jazz on Friday. 

Indiana has a strong recent bounce back record covering four of the last five times following a non-cover. The Pacers have been a money-maker covering 12 of their last 17 games. 

Portland has failed to cover in its last four home games. 

The Trail Blazers could get back star guard Damian Lillard. If that's the case, though, the line could go up more. Lillard figures to be rusty after missing the past seven games. Lillard's return could impact Anfernee Simons, who has been on fire since Lillard has been out, while also causing a letdown among his teammates.
