NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans toward the Over 247 in Pacers vs Nuggets:

Denver and Indiana rank 6th and 8th in possessions per game, 2nd and 7th in offensive net rating, 5th and 13th in pace, plus 17th and 20th in defensive net rating, so this could clearly be a track meet between the two. I could only look at Over on player props and the game Over of 247.
