Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
Friday in the Association sees another round of the NBA’s in-season tournament as the Indiana Pacers host the Miami Heat. This will be the Pacers’ opening NBA Cup game while the Heat lost their first game and come in at 0-1. Let’s dive into the match prediction.
It’s been a stop-start season so far for the Indiana Pacers who sit fifth in the East standings with a 5-6 record. Last season’s Eastern Conference finalists come into this matchup off the back of a 94-90 away loss to the Magic, their second defeat in the last three outings.
The Pacers success last season was built off of their high-octane offense, which led the league in scoring. This time around, they have yet to reach those heights yet as they rank 14th in the NBA in average points per game at 113.8.
Miami have also experienced a slow start to the season. They’ve managed just four wins from their first 10 games and they’re already treading water in the NBA Cup as they sit fourth out of five in their group.
Last time out, the Heat were dealt a 123-121 overtime loss by the Pistons. It was Miami’s fourth straight road game, during which time they posted a record of just 1-3.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Heat will be without Jimmy Butler for this one as he misses his third straight game. It’s certainly a blow, but Miami has been competitive in both games he’s missed and even pulled out a 95-94 win over the Timberwolves.
The visitors defense should allow them to make sure this game stays close, especially as the Pacers don’t appear to be the offensive juggernaut that they were last season. We’ll take the points here for the well-coached underdogs. Our Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat prediction: Heat +4.
