Momentum is on the side of the Heat heading into this feisty encounter following their 142-116 win over this same Pacers team last month. Versatile forwards Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. combined for 56 points in that game while Norman Powell added 23 points and five rebounds. The Pacers had 33 points from Pascal Siakam and 25 markers from Benedict Mathurin but their bench struggled to make an impact and was outscored by the Heat 60-23.
Heading into this matchup, the Pacers will need more from their reserves, especially Aaron Nesmith who was only limited to nine points in their previous encounter with the Heat. A stronger showing from the bench could be the difference if the Pacers hope to contain the Heat’s high-powered offense which currently ranks third in league at 120.8 points per game.
The Heat, on the other hand, will need to keep up their offensive firepower while tightening their defense against the Pacers’ key scorers, particularly Siakam who can dominate inside and out if given the space. One thing we like to see the Heat do here is to attack the paint aggressively and force the Pacers to beat them from the perimeter. The Pacers just shot 31.6% from distance last time so forcing them to take ill-advised long range shots could allow the Heat to control the game and maintain their offensive momentum.
This Eastern Conference matchup between the Pacers and the Heat could go either way despite how recent trends suggest, especially with the former playing in front of their home fans. That’s why there’s no better time than right now to unlock the latest Fliff promo code DEADXSC. Of course, you’ll need a Fliff account to get started and here’s how you can create one.
