Pacers vs Heat prediction, picks

Nat Newell, IndyStar: Heat 111-89

The Pacers have generally responded well to poor performances this season, but it says here that won’t happen today. Bennedict Mathurin (4-of-11, 8 points) will respond to a poor performance, but Tyrese Haliburton will struggle and the lack of depth will be an issue again.
