Chris Anderson had a great game off the bench scoring 16 points on 7\/7 shooting, but Ray Allen, Shane Battier and Norris Cole only combined to shoot 2\/16 from the field.<\/p>\n<p>The frontcourt starters of David West, Paul George, and Roy Hibbert combined to score 72 points in the Game 1 loss, but the guards struggled with their shot. George Hill and Lance Stephenson only combined to score 12 points on 4\/19 shooting and they need to knock down their open shots to open up the lane.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat outscored the Pacers in the paint in Game 1 60-48.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams need to rebound the ball better, as each team had at least 15 offensive boards in Game 1. [ad-6571516]<\/p>\n<p>Game 1 was a sloppy game with each team committing at least 20 turnovers and there were 58 personal fouls called.<\/p>\n<p>Paul George has to get going earlier in Game 2, as in Game 1 he did get hot on the 2nd half and score 27 overall, but he only has 2 at halftime.<\/p>\n<p>In some betting trends for this Eastern Conference semifinal game the Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Over record of 12-2 in their last 14 games following a S.U. loss.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games, 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following a S.U. win, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 7 games between these 2 teams the total has gone Over 6 times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> I picked Indy to cover in Game 1 and I am going to do so again. I think the Heat will win again, but the Pacers have confidence in Miami&#8217;s house and they will cover the 7.5-point spread for the 2nd straight game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana vs Miami Handicapping There was a lot of 2nd guessing after the Pacers Game 1 loss on the last play of the game when LeBron James had, pretty much, a non contested layup to win in OT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":62572,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62555"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62557,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62555\/revisions\/62557"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
