IND vs MIA Dream11: As the NBA season will progress, the team depth of various squads will get challenged. In this match-up, the Miami Heat will visit the Indiana Pacers in an inter-conference affair. Heat has won four games above the 50% win mark while the Pacers are six games below it.
Heat is running thin right now with Butler and Adebayo ruled out for this game. It will put pressure upon the guard trio of Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, and Duncan Robinson to step up their game. With Adebayo out long-term, Miami can end up losing a bit of its earlier steam. How will the team cope up with the loss?
Indiana has not been playing clinical basketball. With Brogdon and Sabonis as the one-two punch, the unit has seen faltering production from the rest of the players. It is a surprise Indiana has such a poor record despite having a loaded roster. Will things change
Host: Indiana Pacers
Visitors: Miami Heat
Match Timing: 4 December, @ 05:30 AM
Venue: Bankers Life Fieldhouse
NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Miami: Who will rise up?
In the last two games, the Heat defense has felt the absence of Butler, giving away 120 and 111, and that is far from the norm with their main players in the picture. The team has also had trouble keeping up on the scoring front. The inconsistent play of Lowry and Robinson is the biggest concern, the latter had 0 points in the last game, surely, they won’t win many games if Lowry and Robinson combine for 7-12 points only!
Pacers: Should have had a better record
Indiana has replicated the theme of last season. Losing close games and unable to hold opponents from making late pushes. They have lost their last two games by the margin of 2 and 3 points. Surely, that is heartbreaking but perhaps this is the biggest shortcoming of this team. With its loaded personnel, the Pacers should have had more wins. They have a huge chance here! But the team hasn’t been reliable.
