Even though the Heat saw their eight-game winning streak snapped this past Sunday, it\u2019s too early to declare their surge \u201cover\u201d for now. They were dominant for the eight-game run prior to the loss; their defeat also came by just three points to the Celtics in Boston. So bettors have to consider giving Miami a mulligan tonight, especially since the Heat are still 6-2 against the spread over their last eight.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t know for sure \u2013 but Miami\u2019s latest success could be more sustainable than what we saw from the Heat earlier this season. The team seems to be gelling. Maybe Dwyane Wade\u2019s ankle problems are a blessing? They\u2019ve forced him to take a slight step back and let LeBron James do the primary scoring. Chris Bosh has flown under the radar but is still a mighty fine third option, averaging 18.3 points and 8.1 boards per game. <\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s defense continues to be extremely underrated. The Heat are fifth in scoring defense, first in opposing field goal percentage and first opposing three-point percentage. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019d think that the rather bland Indiana Pacers would be intimidated by Miami\u2019s Big Three and stellar \u201cD,\u201d but don\u2019t be so sure. The Pacers are one of the NBA\u2019s hottest teams, 7-1 since Frank Vogel took over from Jim O\u2019Brien as head coach. They\u2019re also 7-3 ATS over their last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Getting Danny Granger going wasn\u2019t the problem; he\u2019s been the one fairly consistent offensive threat for Indiana this season. But Vogel seems to be making headway with Darren Collison, who has 15-plus points in three of his last four contests, and especially Roy Hibbert.<\/p>\n

Hibbert is the real key. He looked like he was becoming a premiere NBA big man early this season before tanking. Yet he seems reborn under Vogel. In the eight games under his new coach, Hibbert has scored in double figures seven times, topped 20 points three times and tallied four double-doubles. He\u2019s back.<\/p>\n

The Heat are an awfully tough opponent for Indiana to topple but I like the Pacers more than I like most teams against Miami on any given night. They\u2019ve scored at least 100 points in every game under Vogel and are playing with sky-high confidence. Plus \u2013 they\u2019re 5.5 point home underdogs. This feels like a solid upset play.<\/p>\n

Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over is 7-1 in MIA last 8 vs. NBA Central.
\nMIA are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 Tue. games.
\nOver is 9-2 in MIA last 11 road games.
\nIND are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 Tue. games.
\nUnder is 9-4 in IND last 13 home games.
\nUnderdog is 22-6-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings.
\nUnder is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Indiana.<\/p>\n
