Game of the Day: Pacers at Heat
Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat (-5, 184)
The two best teams in the Eastern Conference are struggling down the stretch, but one of them moves closer to claiming the top seed in the East when the Indiana Pacers visit the Miami Heat on Friday. Indiana holds a half-game edge over Miami entering the clash and a victory would reduce its magic number to one for clinching the No. 1 spot. The Pacers are just 8-12 over their past 20 games while the Heat is in the midst of a 10-11 stretch.
Miami could be without guard Dwyane Wade (hamstring) for the ninth straight contest and frontcourt reserve Chris Andersen (knee) also could be on the sidelines for the third time in four games. Forward LeBron James is much more concerned with the health of his club than landing the top seed in the East. “It’s not controlling our destiny about the No. 1 seed,” James told reporters. “We want to get healthy. That’s all that we care about, going into the postseason healthy. … Once everyone comes back, then we can get everything rolling.” Indiana rested its entire starting five while posting a 104-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBATV, FSN Indiana, Sun Sports (Miami)
LINE HISTORY: Early lines in Las Vegas have Miami set as 5-point favorites but suggest a move to -3 if Wade is out. The total opened 184 and could dip to 181 if Wade is inactive.
POWER RANKINGS: Pacers (-11.0) - Miami (-13.8) + Home Court (-3.0) = Heat -5.8
INJURY REPORT: Miami - D. Wade (Ques. Hamstring), G.Oden (Ques. Back), U. Haslem (Ques. Stomach), C. Anderson (Ques. Knee). Pacers - A. Bynum (Out Knee)
ABOUT THE PACERS (54-25): Indiana’s ragged play reached a low point when it was crushed by the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday for its seventh loss in nine games. Seeing a tired and lackluster group led to coach Frank Vogel benching all five starters against the Bucks, which allowed key players like Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert to get some much-needed rest. The Pacers were able to notch a victory courtesy of Chris Copeland’s game-winning shot with 1.2 seconds left. “We needed this to get a little confidence to feel better about ourselves,” veteran forward Luis Scola told reporters. “Start to get some rhythm back and we needed a win.”
ABOUT THE HEAT (53-25): Miami knows there is an advantage to gaining the No. 1 seed after being taken to seven games by the Pacers in last season’s Eastern Conference playoffs before prevailing at home. The Heat see Indiana as a threat and would feel much more comfortable if they win this showdown and overtake the Pacers for the top spot. “It’s going to be intense,” Heat center Chris Bosh said. “It’s going to be a hard-fought game. There’s something at stake. It will pretty much be the playoffs and I think it will be a great atmosphere. We expect them at their best.”
TRENDS:
* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Miami.
* Home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.

River City Sharps
This is more a play against the Padres and their dreadful offense at this early point in the season. The Padres are only averaging 2.2 runs per game, which may be a problem in facing Rick Porcello, who pitched well during Spring Training and gave the Tigers a quality start first time out allowing 1 run and just 3 hits in a win over Baltimore. Andrew Cashner takes the hill for the Padres, who will need some more offense than the Padres have offered till this point. In his first start of the season, Cashner surrendered 3 runs on 9 hits, although he did have 11 strikeouts in the outing, which resulted in a loss to the Marlins. The Sharps say...
3 UNITS - DETROIT TIGERS (-102)

Bones Best Bets NHL
BLUES ML -102 *2*
Despite how bad the Stars need this game, the Blues need to win in order to pass the Avalanche and get back to the 1st spot in the Central division. The Blues have not been playing their best hockey, but we do expect them to turn it around - if they don't they know they have a 1st round match-up with the Blackhawks.
LIGHTNING ML -120 *2*
The Lightning will have their sights set on gaining home-ice advantage. With a win tonight they will pass the Canadiens, leaving both teams with 1 game to go and the Lightning with a 1 point standing advantage. You can bet Tampa will be giving 110% trying to grab home-ice.
AVALANCHE ML +150 *3*
The Sharks have nothing to play for, while the Avalanche have 1st in the Central in their sites and a 1st round matchup against a weaker Wildcard opponent instead of the Blackhawks. Colorado has gone 2-0-1 against the Sharks so far this season. The Avalanche have won 8 of their past 9 games and are the definition of red hot. The Sharks have dropped 6 of their last 9 games and already know that they will be playing the Kings in their first round playoff matchup.
