The Indiana Pacers are visiting the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, October 21, 2026. The current betting lines show the Pacers as slight favorites with a -3.5 point spread at -108 odds. This means you’d need to bet $108 to win $100 if you back Indiana to win by at least 4 points. On the flip side, the Pelicans are +3.5 underdogs at -112, so a $112 bet would win $100 if New Orleans loses by 3 or fewer points or wins outright.
Looking at the moneyline, Indiana is favored at -155, implying bookmakers see them as more likely to win straight up. Betting $155 would win $100 if the Pacers take the game. The Pelicans offer a +130 payout, so a $100 bet nets $130 if they pull off the upset.
The total points line is set at 239.5, with the over at -115 and under at -105. This suggests a fairly balanced expectation for scoring. The odds slightly favor the under, meaning a $105 bet wins $100 if the combined score is 239 points or fewer.
All in all, the market views Indiana as the better team but expects a competitive game. The spread is tight enough that either side could cover. If you expect a close, possibly high-scoring game, the total might be a good angle. Keep in mind, the slight juice on the under indicates a small lean toward a defensive battle or slower pace. Choose your bets accordingly.
