Pacers Lose Leading Scorer to Injury Sportsbooks Online. Sportsbooks online are going to have to adjust the lines on Indiana Pacer games for the next month since the Pacers will be without their leading scorer, Danny Granger. The Pacers have lost Granger for about a month with a foot injury. He was the one player on the team that could impact odds at the offshore sportsbook.
Sportsbooks online have seen the Indiana Pacers lose nine of their last ten games and things don’t figure to get any better without Granger. Indiana said that Granger won’t need surgery so he could return in about a month as sportsbooks online info indicates. Granger is a huge player for the Pacers in sportsbooks online results. He is averaging 24.4 points per game this sportsbooks online season. He has been playing with a bad heel for over a month and still was great. “We’re losing an All-Star player,” head coach Jim O’Brien said, “It’s a big loss. How we deal with it remains to be seen.”
The Pacers don’t have a lot of players who can impact sportsbooks online results. Dahntay Jones averages 15.3 points per game as sportsbooks online stats have it. Luther Head and Brandon Rush could see more playing time. Mike Dunleavy just returned from a knee injury but he has never been a player who can impact sportsbooks online action at the offshore sportsbook very often. The Pacers have also had other players miss time due to injury. Troy Murphy, Tyler Hansbrough, Jeff Foster and Travis Diener have missed time. “Any rash of injuries challenges you,” O’Brien said. “I try to stay away from the word frustrated. We have games to play. We have guys who are professional players who have talent and are expected to step in and help us win.”
There is not much to like with the Pacers in sportsbooks online action without Granger in the lineup. “We’ve been struggling, but there’s parts of every game where we play at the level we need,” O’Brien said. “We just need consistency.”
Before Wednesday’s sportsbooks online game against Portland, the Pacers were 6-12 both straight up and against the spread at the offshore sportsbook. The Pacers have at least been competitive at home versus the sportsbooks online odds at the as they are 4-5. On the road the Pacers are a very poor 2-7 versus the offshore sportsbook pointspread.
