Game of the Day: Spurs at Pacers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio Spurs at Indiana Pacers (+4.5, 190)

Monday's game between the San Antonio Spurs and host Indiana Pacers may be a matchup between conference leaders, but make no mistake: the teams are headed in vastly different directions. San Antonio comes into this one on a franchise record-tying 17-game winning streak and will look to wrap up the second unbeaten complete month in franchise history. The Spurs will look to extend their run against a Pacers team that has lost four of its last five games.

San Antonio's incredible hot streak has allowed it to build a three-game lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the race for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, and with just nine games remaining for both teams it would take a major collapse for the Spurs to not finish on top. But Gregg Popovich only needs to look to the other sideline for proof it can happen. The Pacers lead Miami by one game, and will face the Heat in a pivotal showdown April 11.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBA TV, FSN Southwest (San Antonio), FSN Indiana

LINE HISTORY: The Spurs opened as 3.5-point road faves but have been bet to -4.5. The total opened 190.5 and is currently 190.

INJURY REPORT: Spurs: G Danny Green (Questionable, Foot), F Matt Bonner (Early April, Calf). Pacers: G C.J. Watson (Early April, Hamstring), C Andrew Bynum (Out indefinitely, Knee)

WHY BET THE SPURS (57-16 SU, 40-33 ATS, 41-31-1 O/U): It's one thing for San Antonio to own the league's best record; it's another altogether for the Spurs to be so productive despite ranking 20th in the NBA in payroll. At approximately $63 million, the Spurs - through Saturday - have spent roughly $1.11 million per victory, well ahead of the runner-up Houston Rockets ($1.18 million per win). Head coach Gregg Popovich told the San Antonio News-Express: "(General manager R.C. Buford) and his group work very hard at trying to be as frugal as we can possibly yet put a product on the floor that everybody will be proud of."

WHY BET THE PACERS (52-22 SU, 35-38-1 ATS, 29-43-2 O/U): Indiana is fourth on the payroll-dollars-per-victory chart at $1.29 million, but could use some extra cash to buy an offense. Indiana shot just over 37 percent in Sunday's 90-76 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and has surpassed the 80-point mark just once in the previous five games - an 84-83 win over Miami that makes up Indiana's slim lead over the Heat. "We're losing games at an alarming rate to teams that are inferior to us," power forward David West said. "We can't figure out a way to perform better. We're kind of looking for answers right now."

TRENDS:

* Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Indiana.
* Spurs are 6-0 ATS in their last six road games.
* Pacers are 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. Western Conference.
* Over is 9-1 in Spurs last 10 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

CONSENSUS: 58 percent of wagers are on the Spurs.

Wild at Kings: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minnesota Wild at Los Angeles Kings (-170, 5)

Although the Los Angeles Kings are resting comfortably in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, they can play a significant role in deciding the wild-card representatives. Red-hot Los Angeles vies for its seventh win in a row on Monday, when it hosts the Minnesota Wild. The Kings conclude their three-game homestand with a date against Phoenix, which resides three points behind the seventh-place Wild.

"The story to the games leading up to the playoffs has been important to all the teams ... somebody's trying to get ready, somebody's trying to just fight for the playoff position," Los Angeles' Anze Kopitar said. The Slovenian Olympian certainly is doing his part after scoring twice in the Kings' 4-2 victory over Winnipeg on Saturday. Zach Parise tallied twice and defenseman Jared Spurgeon netted the go-ahead goal as Minnesota posted a 3-1 triumph over the Coyotes on Saturday for just its fourth win in 13 games (4-5-4).

TV: 10 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN2

ABOUT THE WILD (38-26-11): Captain Mikko Koivu notched two assists versus Phoenix and has scored one goal and set up six others during his five-game point streak. Ilya Bryzgalov made 23 saves against one of his former teams in the Coyotes and is in line to receive his second consecutive start. The Russian has fared well against Los Angeles, posting a 14-7-4 mark with a 2.32 goals-against average.

ABOUT THE KINGS (44-25-6): Marian Gaborik has made himself at home in Los Angeles, notching two assists on Saturday to record points in three straight games. Minnesota's first-ever draft pick, Gaborik has secured eight points in his last nine games after going without one in his first three contests following his acquisition from Columbus. Jonathan Quick is rounding into postseason form, having won 11 of his last 13 decisions.

TRENDS:

* Under is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings.
* Wild are 9-4 in their last 13 vs. Pacific.
* Kings are 14-3 in their last 17 overall.
* Over is 5-1-2 in Wild last eight overall.

OVERTIME:

1. Los Angeles and Minnesota have recorded one shootout victory over the other on the road this season. The Kings posted a 3-2 win on Oct. 3 before the Wild answered with a 2-1 triumph on Jan. 7.

2. Minnesota D Jonathon Blum, who is a California native, will play in his 100th NHL game on Monday.

3. Los Angeles C Jarret Stoll scored his team's lone goal on Jan. 7 and registered a team-high nine hits on Saturday.
