Indiana Pacers vs Brooklyn Nets Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 9, 2026

Indiana's dominance in the first half set the tone for a wire-to-wire blowout, as the Pacers breezed past Brooklyn 123–94 with a combined 217 points that landed well under the closing total of 225.5. The teams had split their season series with tight finishes—a 115–110 Pacers win and a 112–103 Nets victory—but this matchup bore no resemblance to that back-and-forth pattern. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.

The opening half told the story: Indiana jumped out to a 31-point first quarter while Brooklyn managed just 14, and though the Nets tightened their grip slightly in the second with 23 points to Indiana's 32, the Pacers still took a commanding 63–37 halftime lead into the break. The third quarter proved the game's highest-scoring stretch at 70 combined points, with Indiana pushing further ahead at 35 points to Brooklyn's 35. The fourth quarter's 47 combined points merely confirmed the outcome was decided long before. Obi Toppin led the Pacers' assault with 26 points and 9 rebounds, while Micah Potter added 18 points and 14 boards. For the Nets, E.J. Liddell posted 26 points and 10 rebounds, but isolation and balance couldn't overcome Indiana's first-half onslaught. Ben Saraf chipped in 19 points and 6 assists in a losing effort. Brooklyn's permissive defense—allowing 125.2 points per game over its last ten—proved no match for the Pacers' league-leading pace.
