Randy’s Free Pick

The Indiana Pacers remain in terrible form and backing them, especially on the road, doesn’t feel ideal. However, the Heat has played to their level of competition all year, and we can expect another close game against a below average side. The Heat win in the favorite role by an average of 2.1 points. Give me the road dog.
