<p>The Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat put on a scoring clinic the last time these two teams faced each other.</p> <p>In the December match, the Heat dominated, winning 142-116. It was a spectacular performance and one that caught the attention of many, including bettors. However, can we expect the same to happen again when they meet in Indiana?</p> <p>With their upcoming match scheduled to take place on Sunday, January 11, at 11:00 AEDT, we’ve decided to preview it and offer up our top expert Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat betting predictions as we look to help you maximise your NBA betting experiences with us at Sportsbet!</p> <h2>Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat: Betting Preview</h2> <p>Looking at the previous clash, it went very much as the regular-season statistics might have suggested, especially given the form of the two teams. At the time, Indiana were 6-26 for the year and haven’t improved much since; Miami were 17-15 after struggling for consistency, which they seem to have found a little in recent matches.</p> <p>In that game, Pascal Siakam led the scoring with 33 points. He was helped by team-mate Bennedict Mathurin’s 25, but it still left Indiana 26 points short of Miami’s total. Indeed, three players for the Heat managed to exceed 20+ points in that game: Andrew Wiggins (28), Jamie Jaquez Jr. (28 from the bench), and Norman Powell (23). Nikola Jovic had 19 from the bench, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>In that game, Miami had 49 rebounds, 33 assists, and 17 steals, forcing the ball over 10 times. It highlighted just how dominant they were.</p> <h2>Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>We like to look at the bigger picture and historical trends when making NBA betting predictions.

We think<strong> Normal Powell </strong>could have another significant performance. He has been important for the Heat this season, and his recent performances have continued to see him hit 20+ points. In this game, we <strong>predict that he will have 25+ points</strong> as he continues to be the leading man.</p> <p><br /> <strong>Tyler Herro</strong> has been working his way back, and there’s a chance he could play on Sunday. If he does, we would <strong>expect him to have 10+ points</strong>, as it’s likely his minutes will be managed after a lengthy time out on the sidelines.</p>
