Orleans Pelicans' recent record analysis: It is necessary to pay attention to the rhythm and scoring efficiency of its first 10-15 games, and the health and playing time of core players such as Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram will directly affect the team's offensive output. Defensive end Herbert Jones and others are key to the outside defense. Analysis of the Indiana Pacers' recent performance: As a well-known fast-paced, high-scoring team in the league, it is necessary to focus on its offensive efficiency (especially three-point shooting) and defensive stability in the period before the game. Tyrese Haliburton's tandem and individual offense are the team's scoring engine. The recent pace and goals per game of both teams are the core data for evaluating the over/under market.

Looking back at the past 2-3 seasons of the two teams, it is necessary to focus on the total score of the game. The Pacers generally tend to play at high speeds, while the Pelicans may use interior advantage and defense to try to control the tempo. The total score data of historical head-to-head matches is an important reference to judge whether this game can be scored in small points, and it is necessary to see if there is a clear "big score" or "small score" trend.

are for over/under markets with a total score of less than 235.5, with odds of 0.9 for both home and away teams. This combination of odds indicates that the institution believes that the over/under division is relatively balanced, with a slight preference for small scores (but the payout risk is the same). It is necessary to observe the adjustment between the initial market and the current market in combination with the real-time market change, and further strengthen the expectation of small points if the market is lowered (e.g., from 237.5 to 235.5) or if the odds are tilted in the direction of the small points.

are based on analysis and the propensity is that the total score may be less than 235.5. The reasons are as follows:1. Strategic: The Pelicans may deliberately slow down the pace of the game, use their interior advantage for positional play, and play their forwards' defensive abilities to limit the Pacers' quick transitions and three-point shooting. 2. Key matchups: The Pelicans' outside defensive resources (such as Herbert Jones) constrained Haliburton, and the Pacers' relatively weak interior defense may not be able to completely limit the Pelicans' impact, but may prompt the game to fall more into the halfcourt. 3. Handicap interpretation: 235.5 points is a relatively high threshold, combined with the recent defensive focus (mid-season) or shooting fluctuations that may occur between the two teams, breaking through the big score requires extremely efficient offense and resistance. Based on the overall judgment, the probability of a small score result is slightly higher.

This analysis is for data purposes only. The game of basketball is highly variable, and the state of the players, rotation strategies, and referee scales on the field may greatly affect the score. It is recommended to make the final decision based on the starting lineup, injury report and pre-match dynamic information on the day of the game. Please bet rationally and control risks.
