Bettors thinking Pacers will end series

The Indiana Pacers were blown out in Game 5 by the Washington Wizards and if they want to advance to their second straight Eastern Conference finals they will have to do it as underdogs Thursday night in Washington.
The Pacers opened Game 6 as 4.5-point dogs and bettors not only think Indiana will keep it close, but end the series as well.
"We opened at Washington -4.5 and has been adjusted down to -4 as we are seeing heavy action coming in on Indiana," said Brad Kennedy of Top Bet. "Players are loving Indiana at +170, we are seeing 73 percent of all moneyline wagers being placed on the Pacers and we were forced to reduce it to +165."
