Miami Under (193') for 2.5 Units
Both of these teams are playing great ball right now; one of the main reasons for their success is defense. Miami, which is #2 in the NBA is points allowed (94.1 ppg) and FG% allowed (43.8%), has allowed just 80.5 ppg on 37% shooting during their 6-0 run. On the other hand, the defensively soft Pacers (allow 104 ppg), may have finally figured out how to play defense for they've allowed just 92 ppg over their last 5 games. Indiana sports a 7-19-2 mark as a home favorite, 2-5 O/U as a small favorite, and 2-5 O/U after scoring 100+ in their previous game. Miami, on the other hand, controls a 5-15 O/U mark as a small road dog, and is 3-10 O/U in its last 13 following a SU win of more than 10 points. As a series, its gone 0-4 o/U in the last 4 and 1-7 O/U at Conseco Fieldhouse. Value with the "under".
