1.70Tip and bets
It's difficult to choose a clear favorite when both teams are playing well and taking leading positions in their respective conferences. Miami defeated Atlanta in the last match, but the good news is that the club showed character and dominated the floor. The home court factor will be on the home team's side, which can play an important role.
Indiana looks confident this season, especially in away games. Rick Carlisle's team will try to compete, although it will not be easy to stop the aggressive attack of the opponent. In our opinion, the points will go to the guests. The Pacers are playing a more stable game and have a better chance of winning.
Our prediction is that Indiana will win with a handicap of (-3.5) points in 1.80
Bet on the total
Miami's players spent a lot of effort in the last match, which could affect the next home game. The team will try to act in the same style, but Indiana has built a great defense. The Pacers are coming out from under pressure well, and most likely, the visitors will have to counterattack. We assume that in this case the total will not be broken.
Betting Tip - total less than 227 points in 1.73
Betting on statistics
There are doubts that Miami will be able to dominate the floor and play as effectively as possible. Indiana will enter the floor with an optimal composition, plus the defense of the guests is not asleep, so it will not be easy for the Heat. We assume that the Hit will not break through its individual total.
Prediction – Miami's individual total is less than 110.5 points for 1.90
