Pacers +3 (5.5* NBA POD)
Love the Pacers in this spot with fresh legs.  They’ve had 2 days off following a rough stretch of play losing 3 straight.  A win here will put them back on track and regain momentum, but playing the Heat won’t be easy.  However, the Heat are on 0 days rest for the 2nd day I a row and their 4th road game in 5 days 5th in 7 days.  The Pacers got clobbered by 35 points in their only season meeting which was at Miami.  They should be motivated at home where they play better defense than the Heat play on the road.  I love this spot for them as they should have a chance to win this game outright.
 
Jazz +12.5 (3.3* bonus)
Like the Heat they are on their third game in a row, but they get 12.5 points and they are on some short revenge they just lost to the Thunder on Friday night.  That was the Thunder’s last game so expect them to over look the Jazz.  The Jazz played even with the Thunder in that game, but couldn’t avoid getting to the FT line 19 times less.  They were even in FG% offense and defense.  I expect this game to be within striking distance for them all game long.  The Jazz did a great job limiting Kevin Durant to 10 shots in that game which could be a key here tonight.
