The Miami Heat went into cruise control as they took to the home court against a depleted Indiana team, and got caught in a 6-point home loss. I look for this team to bounce back after the out-of-focus effort as they head to Atlanta to take on the Hawks. Atlanta and Miami also have injury problems, but I think the Heat can absorb them better. Atlanta will be without DeMarre Carroll, and Mike Scott looks like he may play, but at what level? The Heat have that certain pedigree about winning, especially off a loss. Atlanta has always been solid at home until they face a strong road team as they are just 3-8 ATS here vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Play on Miami in this one.
