Of course, all the attention is on Miami right now as they are not only the red-hot favourites for this series, but also to win the NBA Championship for the second year in a row.
In this first match of the series, Heat have their home fans behind them and will expect to take a 1-0 into Friday’s clash – which is also in Miami.
The champions have had a week to rest following their 4-1 win over Chicago Bulls, so they should come into this one in good spirits and fairly refreshed.
They do however, often struggle in the opening match of the series, which is usually because they win their previous encounters comfortably and are a little bit rusty for the opener. The bookmakers do still make Heat the big favourites for this one at 5/19.
As ever, LeBron James is the going to be the main man for Miami and the away team are going to find it tough to keep him quiet.
The hosts will try and get James on the ball as much as possible and if they play their high tempo basketball, they should run-out comfortable winners. In truth, if this is a high scoring match, Heat are sure to win it.
Miami Heat look very strong right now and even a defeat here wouldn’t change the odds of them winning the series too much, but make no doubt about it, they want to win and win well.
As for Indiana Pacers, they need to slow this game down as if they get into a high scoring, fast tempo encounter, they are going to struggle to get anywhere near the Heat.
These two locked horns on three occasions this campaign and the Pacers actually won two of the matches, so they do know what it takes to come out on top against the best team around right now.
You can get odds of 10/3 on a win for the visitors, which some may see as good value when you consider that Heat often start a series slowly.
One thing Indiana have to do is stick to their game plan right from the off and play a perfect game of basketball. They need to be defensively solid and then convert any chances that may arise. If the Heat make a mistake, the Pacers must capitalise.
It will be interesting to see what sort of shape they are in after a hard-fought series against New York Knicks in the previous round. They won 4-2, but it wasn’t the most convincing six matches as the Knicks didn’t look to be a great side.
This should be another enthralling match from Miami and if Indiana Pacers can execute their game plan well, it could be a tight encounter from 1.05am.
