The Indiana Pacers play host to the Miami Heat at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the NBA on Saturday night. The Pacers (7-31) are bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Heat (20-17) are sixth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Indiana Pacers finally brought an end to their dismal 13-game losing streak on Thursday night when they edged the Charlotte Hornets 114-112 on the road.
However, beating a side that has only managed 13 wins this season by two points isn’t much to get too excited about, especially when the Pacers are still the worst team in the NBA this season.
About the only positive for Indiana right now is the performance of Pascal Siakam, who put up 30 points against Charlotte and is averaging 23.9 PPG. However, the team still has the second-worst offence in the league this season.
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat will enter this one well-rested after their last match against the Bulls was postponed. Prior to that, they were in good shape, winning five of seven games, with both losses coming against the Timberwolves.
In their last match, Norman Powell led the team with 21 points, but Andrew Wiggins was the only other starter to finish in double digits. As a team, they shot just 35% from the field.
The Heat are 7-11 on the road. These sides met last month, and the Heat romped to a 26-point victory at home.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat Prediction
The Pacers picked up a much-needed victory in the week, but that was against the Charlotte Hornets, who have only managed 13 wins this season. Andrew Nembhard is also a doubt for this match, while Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson and Tyrese Haliburton are all sidelined.
The Heat were on a nice run before their last match was postponed. However, that also means they will be well-rested coming into this one and will be eyeing another big win after thumping this opponent by 20+ points last month. Our Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat prediction is Miami Heat -7.5.
