NBA - 501 Miami Heat @ 502 Indiana Pacers
Play #1
Considering how inconsistent the Pacers have been in the last three months and the inability of their offense to use their superior size down low, I expect the Heat to advance to the NBA Finals sooner or later.
For this particular G1, there are some factors that made me like the Heat:
For some strange reason, IND’s coach Vogel can’t prepare his players to be ready for the first game of the series. IND was pounded by the Hawks in the first game of this postseason by losing 93-101, and against the Wizards in the last round, the Pacers were outplayed and lost the game 96-102.
The Pacers are supposed to completely dominate the glass against the Heat, but they have been pretty mediocre so far in the postseason in the offensive glass. Eventually, they will made a conscious effort to crash the boards against the Heat but this can lead some easy transition points for MIA.
Obviously on the defensive end, MIA will pack the paint and dare the Pacers to beat them from the outside. Apart from an occasional big game from Paul George, the Pacers outside shooting is far from being consistent while the Pacers simply can’t feed the post @ consistent basis in order to punish MIA’s inferior size on the front.
Besides being the better team right now, MIA is more prepared for this contest and therefore, I’m taking them in here as my Single Dime Play!
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 501 Miami Heat (-2) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
