Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat travel to the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in search of a victory over Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers. The Miami Heat have struggled to find consistency and, for that matter, the win column. The Heat enters this game under .500, searching for an identity.
Butler continues to produce, but the depth of this team is questionable. The Indiana Pacers enter this game following a split with the Brooklyn Nets. The Pacers continue to mesh new pieces together to form a cohesive unit.
The betting odds and predictions are below:

Mentioning Jimmy Butler in the opening was no accident. Butler is the engine of the Miami Heat offense. Butler either scores or helps other role players score. He is providing help across the board to the tune of 21 points, six rebounds, and six assists every time he steps on the court.
Tyler Herro is providing some much-needed firepower from the outside, averaging 18 points and a surprising six rebounds per night. He is essential for this Heat offense to hit their stride.
Bam Adebayo continues to be the force on the inside for the Miami Heat. He is averaging 18 points and eight rebounds a night.
For Indiana, it has been all about Tyrese Haliburton. He is leading the team in points, rebounds, and steals and is off to an All-Star caliber start.
Bennedict Mathurin has been a revelation for the Pacers, as he is providing a spark to their offense with 20 points per night.

Miami Heat vs. Indiana Packers Best Pick:
With Bennedict Mathurin playing as lights out as he is, the Pacers haven't asked much of Buddy Hield. Hield has regulated to a secondary role in the Pacers' offense.
We know that Hield can catch fire at any moment, but against a Heat team that is notorious for their on-ball defense, I'll take the Under on this one.
Buddy Hield: Pts: Under 17.5
Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers Final Prediction
The Indiana Pacers have enough offensive firepower to give the Miami Heat fits. The Heat have been far from consistent thus far, but they will figure things out at some point. Jimmy Butler leads the Heat in crunch time as Miami notches the road victory.
Miami Heat -3 (-115) (O/U 227, -110)
