No question the Pacers are showing signs of turning it around, but the Miami Heat are not the Hawks or the Wizards. The Heat have shown unequivocally that they can turn it up when they must.

The Nets were perfectly built for the postseason, but put up minimal fight against a Heat team that actually dominated in the regular season. Now the playoffs have really begun for Miami. They are an all-time great team, well rested and in a big statement mode.

Pacers is a dichotomous spread and straight up team. This means if a team is consistently winning outright but failing to cover or losing outright and covering, we ride the spread streak. This has proven to be a way to isolate over and undervalued teams. At 54-31 straight up, they are 17-37 against the spread.
