Key Matchups and Handicap: Pacers vs Heat

Indiana had Miami’s number last season, earning a pair of outright upset wins as a 6.5-point underdog and an 8.5-point underdog. These matchups have also been reliably high scoring. Nine of the last 10 meetings have gone over the total, and last season’s three games averaged 244.3 points.

Miami picked up its first win of the season with a 129-117 road victory in Atlanta on Wednesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo hadn’t been getting much help in the box score over the first week, but that changed against the Hawks.

Bam Adebayo finished with 24 points, and Andrew Wiggins knocked down 4 of 7 attempts from three-point range. It appears Miami figured some things out offensively in that game, although the Heat still rank 25th in defensive rating.

Indiana is looking to snap a two-game losing streak and will likely be without Tyrese Haliburton for a while as he recovers from a hamstring issue. The Pacers struggled without him against the Sixers on Wednesday, shooting 41.4 percent from the floor and just 9-for-36 from three-point range.

The loss of Haliburton hurts, but the series history is hard to ignore. Both teams are playing at a top-10 pace, and Miami’s defense ranks near the bottom of the league. Even a short-handed Indiana offense should find enough opportunities against the Heat to help push this total over the number.

ATS and Total Picks for Pacers vs Heat

Total Pick: The over is the strongest play in this matchup. Nine of the last 10 meetings have gone over, and last season’s games averaged 244.3 points, well above this number. Both teams play at a top-10 pace, and Miami’s 25th-ranked defense gives Indiana a path to points even without Haliburton. With the Heat’s offense showing signs of life in Atlanta, take the over 237.5.

ATS Pick: The spread has jumped five points from its low of 3.5, and that’s a big adjustment for one player’s absence. Indiana pulled off two outright upsets against Miami last season as an underdog of 6.5 points or more. In a fast-paced game against a weak Heat defense, the Pacers should be able to keep this within the number. Take the Pacers +8.5.
