Pacers Game Tonight: Pacers at Heat Odds, Injury Report, and Predictions for Dec. 21
In theme with their up-and-down, win-one, lose-one season so far, the Indiana Pacers redeemed themselves at home against the stinking Detroit Pistons to improve to 13-18 after a brutal loss to the shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks on the road.
With a lengthy four-game break behind them, the Pacers head to South Beach for a clincher in their season series against the Miami Heat, who have recently defeated them at home despite missing multiple key players. They will enter Tuesday’s outing hobbled by injuries once more, but tabbing them as certain underdogs could be a dangerous proposition waiting to implode.
On the season, the Pacers are 3-11 on the road and 8-13 against the East while the Heat are 8-4 at the FTX arena and 12-7 against conference foes. Indiana ranks 11th in offensive rating and 14th in defensive rating while Miami sits at eighth and ninth, respectively, on the same departments.

Indiana Pacers at Miami Heat Prediction
The Pacers have always gone toe-to-toe with the Heat, with all contests being the same gritty slugfest between both clubs. However, Miami could be missing too much of their ammo against Indiana, and while their shorthanded squad has already beaten the Blue and Gold on the road, a repeat performance may not be as feasible this time.
Rust will be another nemesis of the Pacers in this contest, but the additional energy and cleaner bill of health after their lengthy break should give them more than enough juice to overcome the physical Heat. In a tightly contested game, expect Indiana’s firepower to secure the bag this time against hobbled Miami.
