LiontipsMiami vs Indiana. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Miami team is still playing without the leaders. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are on injuried list. But Heat are getting victories even without them. In two recent away matches Heat beat Philadelphia (101:96) and Orlando (115:105).
But sometimes the absence of key players hits Florida team hard. For example, in the previous match Eric Spoelstra's men failed to beat Detroit. Game ended with a 90:100 score.
Seems like there will be a rebuilding in Indianapolis soon. The arrival of Rick Carlisle didn't brought any significant impact, so club's board decided to revamp the squad. There are many rumours about Pacers' players. Myles Turner is a transfer target for the Lakers, while Domantas Sabonis may end up with the Knicks. There are also transfer rumours about other Pacers' players.
This situation affects Indiana's performance. Sometimes Pacers are winning matches, but it happens not so often. Though Pacers won the most recent match. Two days ago they recorded a victory over Detroit (122:113).

Tip and bets
Indiana are in a shaky form now. So it will be incredibly difficult for them to beat Miami. Even without their leaders Heat are playing well, so they should be able to record a victory over the Pacers. Spoelstra's men should be able to record a victory at home.
Our prediction - Miami to win (Including OT)
Both opponents are not consistent enough. Each one of the teams can fail the match and to score less than 100 points. It happened to Miami in 2 out of 4 most recent matches. We don't think that teams will score many points.
Our second bet is on total under 211,5 points
