The Miami Heat faces a tough scheduling spot as they visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. The game can be seen on NBA-TV and it will feature live NBA betting odds at BetDSI sportsbook.
Back-to-Back-to-Back for Miami
The Heat are playing their dreaded three games in three days as they were in Atlanta on Sunday and at Milwaukee on Monday. What makes this particular three games in three nights even worse for Miami is that Indiana comes into the game having had two days off. “That ain’t right,” Udonis Haslem said about the situation facing the Heat on Tuesday. Miami superstar LeBron James has said the Heat just have to take things one day at a time. “You can’t think about the Sunday-Monday-Tuesday thing,” James said, “You just got to worry about tonight.” Miami is just 4-4 straight up this season playing in the second half of a back-to-back and this time it will be a back-to-back-to-back. You might think that taking the Pacers would be a great play against the NBA betting odds but the oddsmakers know what is going and they have compensated this season. Teams playing the third game in three nights are 9-7 straight up this season.
Series Notes
This is the second meeting between the Heat and Pacers this season. The Heat blew away the Pacers 118-83 earlier this season and Miami has won seven of the last eight in the series. In the meeting last month it was James and Chris Bosh combining for 55 points. Indiana has won 34 of 42 home games in the series but they have dropped the past three. The last two games between the teams at Indiana went over the total. That could happen again on Tuesday with Miami coming into the game with tired legs.
NBA Predictions
The Pacers definitely have the edge in this game having had two days off while the Heat were playing. As long as we are getting points in this game (which should be the case) we’ll back the Pacers with our NBA predictions.
