The Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Pacers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall. The under is 7-1 in Heat last 8 road games. The over is 7-2 in Pacers last 9 overall. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Indiana and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
The Miami Heat are coming off one of their better showings in a while against the Knicks, and they should be up for this game after recently losing twice at home to these Pacers. The Indiana Pacers continue to be an inconsistent team that’s tough to figure out, and they’re losing their last five games by an average of 2.4 points while shooting just 43.2 percent from the field. The Pacers are 7-11 against the spread this season as an underdog. I’ll lay the bucket with the Heat on the road.
