The Heat are coming into this game with a 43-34 record this season and they are currently sitting in 7th place in the Eastern Conference. They are 0.5 games out of 6th place which is a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and this is a huge game for them since the team in 6th is the Pacers. The Heat are coming off of a good road win against the Rockets by 10+ points in their last game and they have been playing very well recently as they have won 4 of their last 5 games. They have been dominant in those games as well as they have won all 4 of those by 10+ points, and they have actually been better on the road as they are 23-16 this season. They are going up against a Pacers team that is 44-34 this season and they have been playing well in their recent games as they have won 3 of their last 4 games. They have also had a weaker schedule recently as their loss came against the Nets while they also have a win against the Nets as well as a win against the Thunder without their best player in their last game. The Pacers have been much better at home this season as they are 24-15 there but they have not seen the Heat since beating them back in December and they are a very different team now. The Heat usually start to heat up right before the playoffs as they are doing so now and they are going to keep pushing themselves until the end of the season to try and get into a playoff spot, and this is the perfect game to get ahead of the Pacers in. The Heat will cover the spread in this game.
