Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Heat should be favored at home, as the Pacers keep losing, and they’re throwing out a banged up roster on the end of a back to back. However, let’s not act like the Heat are lighting the world on fire. The Heat lost 8 of their last 9 games heading into last night, and they haven’t won two straight games in a month. The underdog has covered 7 of the last 9 games between the Pacers and Heat. There’s also a chance Bam is still out. Just because the Heat beat the Hawks last night doesn’t make everything all good in sunny Miami. Give me the points with the Pacers.
