Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat Preview & Picks

Miami are tipped to cover as they end their losing run.

Indiana score a ton of points, but they have the league's worst defense and that will almost always be exploited by the best teams.

  • Miami Heat are 6-1-0 ATS in their last 7 wins
  • Miami Heat are 7-4-0 ATS in their last 11 games overall
  • The Over has hit in 3 of Miami's last 4 home games
  • The Over has cashed in 14 of Indiana's 16 games this season

Head To Head

  • Indiana Pacers lead the all-time series 83-73
  • Miami Heat won 116-111 when the two teams last met on February 8

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana go into the first game of the double-header in Miami in inconsistent form that has left them 9-7.

The Pacers enjoyed a three-game win streak earlier this month, which included a 126-124 victory over Milwaukee, but they have not strung together wins since then.

They split two games in Philadelphia, losing 137-126 and winning 132-126, and then fell to a 128-116 defeat when they hosted Orlando.

Indiana then edged Atlanta 157-152 in a sensational shootout, only to lose 132-131 when they returned home to face Toronto.

The Pacers again bounced back quickly from a loss, beating Detroit 136-113, but again they failed to follow up a victory as they lost 114-110 to Portland.

Miami Heat Form

Miami come into this matchup have lost each of their last three games to fall to 10-8 for the season.

The Heat were red-hot earlier this month, reeling off seven straight wins to rebound from a slow start.

That streak was halted by a surprise 102-97 defeat in Chicago, but they issued an immediate response as they beat the Bulls, 118-100, two days later.

Miami backed that up with a 129-97 blowout of the Cavaliers in Cleveland, but they have not won since that night.

The Heart were beaten 100-98 at New York and 112-97 in Brooklyn, before returning home to suffer a 131-124 defeat at the hands of Milwaukee.

Verdict

Indiana's bad defensive play will be a major Achilles heel against the league's best teams, so we like the chances of Miami snapping out of their funk at home.
