BETTING TRENDS
Miami are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games.
Miami are 10-5 SU in their last 15 games against Indiana.
Miami are 2-9 SU in their last 11 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Miami's last 7 games when playing on the road against Indiana.
Indiana are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Indiana's last 5 games.
Indiana are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Indiana's last 13 games against Miami.
Prediction
The Heat have been up and down this season as they have been dealing with injuries but looks like all of their best players will be available for this game. The Pacers have lost 4 of their last 6 games and are allowing over 120 points per game. The last time these teams faced each other in Indiana the Pacers beat Miami by only 2 points and the Heat were without Butler and Oladipo so I expect Miami to beat them this time.
PICK: Heat -3 (-110)
