The Pelicans (35-24) and Pacers (33-26) will take the floor tonight in Indianapolis in an inter-conference battle. This will be a matchup of two conflicting styles — New Orleans is a top-10 defense that plays at a relatively slow pace, while Indiana ranks No. 1 in points per game.
Fans in both Louisiana and Indiana can take advantage of a stellar selection of betting promos which could net you over $4,000 in bonuses.
Here are the best sportsbook promos on tap for Pelicans vs. Pacers.
BetMGM Pelicans-Pacers Betting Promos
Sign up at BetMGM Sportsbook with the promo code LWOS ahead of tonight’s action between the Pelicans and Pacers and you’ll be in line to earn $150 in bonus bets.
Once you’ve created your account and made your first deposit, all you’ll need to do is place a first-time wager of at least $5 on any market of your choice. Even if you lose your bet, BetMGM will add $150 in bonus bets to your account.
These bet credits will be issued as six tokens worth $25 each, and any winnings you earn from wagering them will be yours to keep. Just keep in mind that you’ll only have seven days to use them before they expire for good.
Caesars Sportsbook Pelicans-Pacers Betting Promos
If you’re looking for a higher-value promo ahead of Pelicans vs. Pacers, consider signing up at Caesars Sportsbook with the promo code LWOS1000, which could help you receive a bonus bet of up to $1,000.
After you’ve signed up and added funds to your account, simply place a first-time wager on any market. If it loses, Caesars will credit you with a bonus bet equal to your stake, up to a maximum amount of $1,000.
This bonus bet will be a single-use token and it cannot be withdrawn. However, any winnings you earn from wagering with it will be yours to keep, effectively providing you with a second chance at turning your first bet into cash.
Your bonus bet will expire 14 days after it is added to your account. Users who win their first bet will not receive a bonus.
bet365 Pelicans-Pacers Betting Promos
One of the newest betting sites to come to Indiana is bet365 Sportsbook, which offers a choice between two sign-up bonuses when you register with the promo code LWOS150.
The first option is a $1,000 First Bet Safety Net. Pick this promo, and if your first-time bet is a loss, bet365 will reward you with a bonus bet equal to your wager, up to a maximum of $1,000. This can help to mitigate a potentially large loss.
Alternatively, you can go for the Bet $5, Get $150 offer. Sign up for this promo and you’ll get $150 in bet credits once you place your first wager of $5 or more, even if you lose your bet.
No matter which way you lean, you’ll need to use the promo code GAMEDAY to secure your bonus. Any unused bonus bets will expire after seven days.
Hard Rock Pelicans-Pacers Betting Promos
Another more recent entrant to the Indiana sports betting scene, Hard Rock Bet offers new users up to $100 in bonus bets when their first bet is counted as a loss. Here’s how it works.
Your first wager at Hard Rock Bet will fall under their “No Regret First Bet” promo, which allows you to receive bonus bets equal to your stake if you lose your first bet. Unlike most other sportsbook, your bonus will be issued as bet credits rather than a single-use token.
This means that instead of receiving one $100 bonus bet, you would be able to split up the $100 into as many different wagers as you’d like. If you choose your spots wisely, you may even be able to turn a larger profit from wagering the $100 in bonus credits than you would have from your initial wager.
Hard Rock Bet will only match your losing first bet up to $100, and bonus bets will expire after seven days if they go unused. You will not receive a bonus if you win your first bet.
Pelicans vs. Pacers Odds & Prediction
- Spread: Pelicans +5.5 (-110) • Pacers -5.5 (-110)
- Moneyline: Pelicans (+185) • Pacers (-225)
- Total: Over 239.5 (-110) • Under 239.5 (-110)
This is a potentially tough spot for Pelicans, who will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back and possibly without CJ McCollum (ankle). Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram can shine against this lackluster Pacers defense, but New Orleans has struggled to get going on zero days of rest, averaging just 111.4 points per game.
Meanwhile, the Pacers will have their work cut out for them against one of the league’s top defenses. The Pels give up few two-pointers and rank No. 1 in opponent three-point percentage, so Indiana will likely want to push the tempo and take advantage of the scheduling.
Given New Orleans’ tired legs and defensive versatility, I have a hard time seeing how this one will go beyond the projected 239.5-point total. Expect a lower-scoring game.
Pelicans vs. Pacers Best Bet
Under 239.5 Points (-110)
BetMGM Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit
The Under is the way to go at 239.5 points. The Pelicans have the answers necessary to counter this efficient Pacers offense, but they may not be able to put up enough points to carry this one Over.
