Major
(NBA) Indiana vs. Miami,
Point Spread: -6.50 | -107.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Win
Miami is the much more talented team. The fact Miami did not dominate the first two games means the Pacers will have a false sense of security and the hometown boys will have some urgency.

Yes the rest benefitted the Pacers in that it gave Paul George time to recover from a concussion. But it gives Miami No. 2 man Dwayne Wade time to rest.
