ASA play 8* on: Under 214.5 Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat, 3:30PM ET

The Miami Heat are statistically the best 3-point shooting team in the NBA at 38% but in Game #2 they hit 51% of their 3-pointers or 18 of 35. You can see for yourself that is a significant difference based on their season average and it resulted in the Heat scoring 109 points. That great 3-pt shooting night is also an aberration considering the Pacers have the 4th best 3-point percentage defense in the NBA at 34%. What is most important with this wager is the tempo or pace of play these two teams are playing at. The league average this season for FG attempts per game is 177 and in the first two contests these two teams combined for 157 FGA’s in both games. The Pacers offense has struggled against the Heat as they have managed 92, 109, 101 and 100 points in four meetings in the Bubble with all four games staying below the totals. Both teams rank in the bottom ten teams of the league in pace of play this season and both are top 11 in defensive efficiency ratings. This shapes up to be an old fashion 1980’s type Eastern Conference playoff game. Bet UNDER!
