Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers Odds & Injuries: All Hands On Deck
After a bad loss to the Detroit Pistons on Sunday, the Miami Heat lace them up to do it all over again on Tuesday. Hopefully, not to the same result as Sunday, they’ll look to repeat the same results against this Pacers team as they did in their last contest against them about two weeks or so ago.
This time though, they’ll have to do it with even less talent afforded to them than they did before. Being without many of their guys already and though they may get one of them back, they added a new guy to the injury report in Sunday’s defeat.
P.J. Tucker, a guy that has been huge all season and especially in the wake of Bam Adebayo‘s injury, injured his leg in the last contest. He’ll be out for Tuesday’s game.
Here is the latest injury report.
Per Heat, out for Tuesday vs. Pacers:

-- Tucker listed with lower-leg nerve inflammation.
The Miami Heat will be even more shorthanded as they face the Pacers on Tuesday. Can they get a win after also losing P.J. Tucker to injury on Sunday?

Even with the Miami Heat’s injury woes, the wise guys are saying that they don’t know who will win this one. They don’t have too much faith in either side being stronger than the other going into the game and that says a ton about this Miami Heat team.
Being down a ton of their guys, their two best players, and one of their top scoring options in Tyler Herro, they have gotten a ton done in the last few games. That’s, save, for a letdown in Detroit this past Sunday.
Still, to be this highly touted by the oddsmakers without P.J. Tucker in tow, potentially meaning a Max Strus or KZ Okpala start, says something about this Heat team and how respected they are.

Erik Spoelstra has had his work cut out for him over the last few weeks and it won’t stop now. He should be able to get enough out of them to get a win over Indiana at home though.
