NBA Playoffs odds: Pacers odds longer as they gear up for Wizards

The Indiana Pacers entered as the primary challenge for the Miami Heat despite a lackluster close to the 2013-14 sandwich. Indiana's struggles didn't show up in the betting lines, but a hard fought seven game victory over the Atlanta Hawks has started to cast doubt among whether the Pacers can actually succeed and play into June.

According to Bovada.lv, the Pacers are 12/1 odds for the NBA Championship, twice as long from their 6/1 odds before the first game of the postseason. The Pacers drop to fifth favorite overall, not only behind Miami, but behind San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and LA Clippers. The Pacers are also 11/2 favorites to get out of the East, second among Eastern teams, behind Miami, who is a heavy 1/3 favorite.

If Indiana can right the ship and make an NBA Finals run, the most likely opponent is expected to be the San Antonio Spurs, the odds for that matchup coming in at 12/1. But it might be a bit premature to jump ahead with Indiana set to tip off against the Washington Wizards tonight, the Pacers entering at -180 (5/9) favorites to beat Washington. The favorite outcome? A 4-2 series victory for the Pacers at 4/1.

Individually, the O/U line for Paul George is 23½ points and 8½ rebounds, with 15 points set for David WEst and 14 for Lance Stephenson. John Wall is expected to lead the Wizards with an O/U line of 18½ points per game and 8 assists. What to do with Roy Hibbert? He's given an O/U over 25½ minutes of action this series, no doubt a response to his struggles against the Hawks.
