I was concerned how playing on a neutral floor would affect my betting, however, as long as the oddsmakers can put a number on the game and I'm able to collect my numbers - it hasn't missed a beat. Based on a variety of stats - assists, turnovers, rebounds, defense, opening line, ranks, schedule strength - i give each team a number. Compare that to History along with the opening line and let past results tell you what to do.
Indiana 44
4.5 Miami 38
Line opened up at -4.5 for Miami currently around 5. History indicates with these numbers 44 vs 38 -with an opening line of 4.5 for the bottom team - the away team very often wins it Straight up.
I'm taking Indiana +180.
Good luck all

Systems can be good but based on just capping the match-up, and what i've seen in the first two games, Miami is just the better, deeper, more physical team. I do think this is one of the more competitive match-ups so I wouldn't be shocked by you being right.

Stump - I find you gotta peel the onion back and look at the numbers and find patterns within your data - assuming your collecting the right info. Always include the opening line as oddsmakers have a reason the line is 4.5 vice 4 and every .5 means something. i have found - just watching the games and betting on observation - doesn't get you there. I hardly ever watch NBA - we will see what happens - either way good luck to ya.

Air - I definitely have them covering and based on my numbers - i think they get it su.
Idle - great question - i boil it down to the opening line - first game miami was -4 - second game miami - 5. This game it's - 4.5 all coming from donbest.com - i find their opening lines to be very consistent and on target compared to others - thus i've used them for many years. I had taken Miami on the spread the last two games but this game with an opening line of 4.5 - the data I collect - strongly - suggests go with Indiana su.

The Heat have beaten the Pacers 5 out of 6 games including the playoffs this season plus they have the better Coach in Spo ..But if the Pacers show up for a victory I guess this would be the spot GL

Yeah, truth be told, I think the line points to Indiana ML myself. And the movement, or lack thereof, points to Indiana as well. This is a very even match-up but I think Miami is a lot tougher as a team. Indiana will have to rely more on jumpshots and if their legs don't have spring... if shots are flat... I just think if it turns into an ugly, grind out game then the advantage is with Miami.

I want to dislike Butler but I really enjoy watching this team play. Them and Raptors, only teams I can watch for full game.
