The Indiana Pacers are a dog, but are looking to defeat Miami for the third straight time this season. Forward Paul George has rediscovered his shooting stroke and topped 30 points in each of the past two games, including 32 points against the Pistons when he scored 21 in the fourth quarter. Indiana is a strong all around team, sixth in the NBA in points allowed, and seventh in three-point shooting defense. The Pacers are 19-7 ATS against the Eastern Conference, plus 14-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Miami is bad free throw shooting team (#24) and prefers a slower pace on offense, ranked #25 in points scored. Miami is off a blowout win, but the team is 4-13 ATS following a win of more than 10 points, as well as 13-36-2 ATS after a straight-up win. Indiana matches up well and is 6-0 ATS the last six meetings. Take Indiana.
