Indiana has lost the first two games of the series, and the Pacers have gone UNDER five games in a row following Thursday's 109-100 loss to the Heat. Duncan Robinson hit his first six shots, and they were all 3-pointers and finished with 24 points for the Heat, which led 51-46 at halftime. Miami has stayed UNDER its last three games, and it holds opponents to 54 points in the first half this season. Indiana averages 54.7 first-half points. The Heat has covered the number four of the last five meetings, and it is 9-3-1 ATS its last 13 Saturday games compared to 3-9-1 ATS for the Pacers on Saturdays. The Heat's defense has been outstanding the first two games, and I look for that to continue in Game 3. Play the first half UNDER and the Heat, which is a medium-sized favorite, on the moneyline.
