Indiana at Miami

Lost in the offensive prowess of the star-studded lineup of the Heat, is the fact that this team has committed to the defensive end of the floor much more than anticipated. They are 17-2 at home because they are good, but also allow just 90 points per game here. The Pacers used to be a team that when the ball went up in the air, it was run, shoot, and hope they could outscore their opponent. Their talent pool is deeper now, and the Pacers are allowing just 92 points per game overall, and over their last five they are allowing 88+. We have a pair of good teams that are both willing to defend, a recipe that has proven to be a good UNDER play as both have played six games or less in the last two weeks, and winning teams in this format have played decidedly to the UNDER. The call goes UNDER the total.
