Why This Position Stands Out

Indiana has enough offensive firepower to stay inside this number, even against a home team that is still priced as the favorite. The Pacers are scoring 115.0 points per game on 48.5% shooting, with 29.3 assists per game and a 32.7% mark from deep, which gives them multiple ways to answer Miami runs. Their road start is also respectable at 2-1, while Miami has opened 0-3 at home and is allowing 120.8 points per game overall, a number that keeps pressure on a home side laying points.

Matchup Overview

Indiana enters at 2-3 with a positive scoring profile for the season, but recent form has been uneven, as shown by a two-game skid and a defense giving up 114.8 points per game. Miami is 1-4, with an offense at 109.0 points per game and a shooting line of 43.2% from the field and 30.6% from three, while its defense has been leaking points at 120.8 per game. The Pacers have a clear edge in efficiency on offense, but Miami’s home edge and ability to create steals and get to the foul line help keep this game competitive.
