Last season the Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat appeared to have a grip on the NBA Eastern Conference. But both of these teams, for different reasons, have slid to a level far below what we have seen in the recent past. The Pacers have had a strong calling card in the situation they face tonight as they have been money when playing in this role. Indiana owns a 104-66 ATS mark in their last 170 games off a road loss. Miami used to dominate at home, but that has come to a screeching halt as they are 2-9 in their last 11 games at home straight-up, so they are in danger with laying points for sure. The Heat have been highly inconsistent, leading to a woeful 2-10-2 ATS mark in their last 14 following a spread win. Take Indiana in this one.
