Take the points! I look for a straight up win for a dog getting 3 1/2 or even 4 points.
Miami played very hard in both losses to Indiana even if the score doesn't indicate it. They were consistently beating the Pacers upand down the court but had no answer for Indiana's more physical play. Coming home tonight, Miami will have even more energy while the Pacers are in a classic letdown situation.
Note that both teams coming home yesterday with 2-0 deficits---New Jersey and Los Angeles---both won easily.
Miami was MUCH better at home this season. They are an incredible 33-12 (playoffs included) at home but an awful 13-33 on the road. That might be the biggest home/road disparity in the league. Look for a big effort out of the Heat to get the win and at the very least a cover.
