Scott Rickenbach NBA TV Blowout ATS Rout - Rickenbach NBA Game #873 Sunday 10* Top Play Miami Heat (+) @ Indiana Pacers @ 6:05 ET - The Pacers are a popular choice today and that's understandable based on the situation involving Miami. On the surface, Indiana looks like the play. But when you look further into this situation, the Heat won so easily versus Toronto yesterday that key players were able to get significant rest and did not have to log big minutes. Also, Miami had two days off prior to that win over the Raptors. The Heat also have the added benefit of having two days off after this game. In other words, the situation is not nearly as bad as a "normal" back to back and, by the way, Miami has gone 10-2 ATS this season when playing the 2nd game of a back to back. Also, the Heat come into this one having won and covered 4 straight games and, of course, Miami has been one of the hottest teams in the league now for quite some time. They're taking on an Indiana team they've beaten 4 straight times and one of their two losses against the Pacers that preceded that run came by just three points. Also, Indiana comes into this game having lost 10 of their last 14 games. The Pacers are off of a loss to the division rival Bucks and are only 5-8 ATS when off of a divisional game this season. The Heat are 8-0 SU and ATS in their last 8 games played against teams with a winning record and they'll stay red hot here. 10* Top Play MIAMI Total Annihilation - Rickenbach NBA Game #875 Sunday 8* OVER 221 in Brooklyn Nets vs New York Knicks @ 6:05 ET - Another horrific 4th quarter did in the Knicks yesterday and they have now stayed under the total in 2 straight games and 8 of their last 9. Whether or not New York's losing ways continue Sunday, at least their scoring woes should be helped by facing the worst defense in the league. Brooklyn is allowing 114 points per game on the season and is happy to be back home after a long road trip. The over is 6-3 this season in Brooklyn home games with a posted total of 220 points or more. The Knicks are 9-3 to the over this season when playing the 2nd game of a back to back. Also, New York is 4-1 to the over when they enter a game having played each of their 3 prior games on the road. Look for a loosely played affair with plenty of offensive fireworks as there is truly no reason for defensive intensity given the current state of these two teams at this point in the season. Keep in mind this is on top of the fact that both these teams play horrible defense even when they are "trying". More of the same here! 8* OVER the total in Brooklyn
