Latest Odds : Pacers -2.5 Total 212.5
Pacers are the perfect blue collar NBA team no real flashy stars but this team just seems to know how to win and they have been coming up big time at home at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Indiana. Pacers have beaten some huge teams like Sixers,Raptors and the Lakers but did come up short in a home test against the Nuggets just a few days back so look for them to come out to prove a point here.
Pacers are back from a road trip where they beat the Hornets but lost to one of the bottom feeders in the league the Atlanta Hawks 116-111. Pacers are lead by a group of players but Domantas Sabonis seems to lead the way under the radar he has 17.8 points per game 13 rebounds and 4.2 assists this guy does every thing well just like his father did.

Sabonis has been bothered by a knee problem and is a game time decision but I believe he will play. Pacers star player Victor Oladipo has been out since last season and is finally in a spot to start rehabbing and soon should see the floor. Miami Heat come to town with some of their own injury issues as their main star Jimmy Butler battles back issues.
Miami has won 7 of its previous 10 games as they continue to exceed expectations in this NBA eastern conference. Heat though are just .500 on the road this season and are lead by Jimmy Butler who has found a home in Miami. Jimmy is averaging 20.4 points per game and 6.6 assists and 6.9 rebounds and is a beast on defense for the Heat. Heat also have Bam Adebayo who averages a double double nightly 15.6 points and 10.6 rebounds.

Look for the Heat to start out this game fast and get an early lead on the Pacers but I expect the Pacers to settle down in the second half and take over the game on both sides of the ball. Miami won the last time these two teams met up 113-112 I expect a much harder fought game and for the game to go easily UNDER the posted number 90-87
