Match Predict – Handicap (-7) for Heat
From a tournament perspective, this game might be even more important for Indiana. However, the Heat will not pass up an opportunity to improve their stats and reaffirm their regular-season playoff aspirations. The visitors, on the other hand, given their poor play on the road and elsewhere, risk jeopardizing their hopes of making the top eight in the East before the final stretch in the championship.
Total Points Under 229
The Miami Heat has five wins in the last ten meetings. In that span, the team scored an average of 107.1 points per game, allowing their opponents to score 107.8. Indiana’s similar numbers (just two wins in the last ten meetings) look much more dismal. The Pacers averaged 111.2 points on offence and 119.9 points per game on defence. The teams’ efficiency is average, so don’t expect an extravaganza in this game.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers
Miami Heat:
The Miami Heat cannot get back on the winning track. For the second game, the team from Florida lost to their direct Eastern Conference rivals. First, they lost to the New York Knicks (104-106), then to the Milwaukee Bucks (115-123). Both meetings took place on the road.
In Miami, the best efficiency was shown by Bam Adebayo: 16 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists against the Bucks and 32 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists against the Knicks
The Heat is positioned in the top six teams. In 54 games, the Heat had 29 wins and 25 losses. The team can’t climb any higher yet. However, they must hold on to their place in the top six, because their place gives them a play-off place in the association.
The Miami Heat are conceding an average of 107.3 points per game at home.
