Miami @ Indiana preview

Last Meeting ( Nov 19, 2017 ) Indiana 120, Miami 95

Visiting Indianapolis hasn't been a good experience for the Miami Heat, and they aim to halt a 10-game losing streak in the city when they face the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Miami hasn't posted a regular-season victory in Indianapolis since Feb. 14, 2012 during the "Big Three" era of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

The Heat are 9-44 all-time at Indiana, but they are fresh off ending a five-game losing streak in Toronto as Wayne Ellington's basket with three-tenths of a second remaining gave them a 90-89 victory. The win was Miami's fifth in a row, and rookie forward Bam Adebayo made a major contribution with 16 points and season bests of 15 rebounds and five blocked shots. Indiana is 2-0 since getting guard Victor Oladipo (knee) back in the lineup after losing the previous four games. But the Pacers likely will be without starting center Myles Turner (elbow) on Wednesday after he injured his elbow during Monday's 109-96 victory over Milwaukee.

ABOUT THE HEAT (23-17): Ellington went just 6-for-17 and was scoreless in the second half before hitting the decisive basket by driving the baseline to finish with 15 points. "We executed the play really well," Ellington told reporters regarding an in-bounds play that began with 3.1 seconds remaining. "Somehow I got wide open in the corner. They forgot about me. I saw a big guy charging out at me. I knew we had plenty of time left and I didn't want to take a forced or challenged 3. I got past him and I looked up and there was nobody around, so I went ahead and finished it." Fellow backcourt reserve Tyler Johnson (shoulder) likely will miss his second straight game after being injured during Tuesday's shootaround.

ABOUT THE PACERS (21-19): Domantas Sabonis is expected to replace Turner in the starting lineup after he contributed 17 points and 10 rebounds in the victory over the Bucks. The 21-year-old has been superb over his last three games, averaging 21 points on 27-of-37 shooting to raise his season average to 12.4. Oladipo, who averages 24.5 points, was an efficient 15-for-22 in the consecutive victories and has averaged 19 points, seven assists and four steals during the stretch.
