by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
The Miami Heat will play host to the Indiana Pacers at the Kaseya Center in the NBA on Friday. The Heat (17-14) are sixth in the Eastern Conference while the Pacers (16-18) are ninth in the conference standings. Check out our match prediction below.
The Miami Heat will be looking to continue their momentum after winning their fourth match in the last five last night when they overcame the New Orleans Pelicans 119-108.
Tyler Herro top-scored with 32 points and Bam Adebayo put up 23, as Miami took a 12-point lead in the first quarter and never looked back.
The Heat are averaging 111.3 points per game this season (20th in the league), but their major strength has come on defence where they allow just 108.7 PPG (sixth in the NBA).
In contrast, the Indiana Pacers will be looking to re-find their rhythm after losing their third in four on Wednesday when they were beaten 120-112 by the Milwaukee Bucks.
Bennedict Mathurin and Pascal Siakam both got 20+ points in the win but Indiana relinquished a 19-point lead, outscored by 67-48 in the second half.
The Pacers are top 10 in the scoring charts, averaging 114.6 points per game, but they are ranked 22nd on the defensive end, allowing 116.9 PPG.

Our Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Pacers have the rest advantage coming into this match, but they have begun to cool off recently with just one win in four and their defence is still a long way from its best.
The Heat, led by Herro, who should be an All-Star this year, have been very good lately, particularly at home, and while they will be tested here on the end of their back-to-back, we feel they will be able to get the job done on their home court. Our Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers prediction is Miami Heat -2.5.
