Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat, 7:30 pm Eastern

The Pick: Indiana -124, bet $12.40 to win $10

Miami is just missing too many players right now: Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, P.J. Tucker, etc. The players they do have will have three fewer days of rest than Indiana. The Pacers haven’t played since Dec. 16, and they’ve won four of their last six. Once again, I’m sticking with low moneylines for straight wins until things in the NBA are a little less up in the air. The Pacers, against a depleted Heat team, is the strongest value.
