After Wednesday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, the Miami Heat will try to earn their first consecutive win since Jan. 27 when they host the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.
Here’s what to know for Friday night’s tilt.
How to watch Heat vs Pacers
Time: 8 pm ET
Location: Kaseya Center, Miami
TV: FanDuel Sports Network
Stream: NBA League Pass, Fubo
Notable injuries
Like Wednesday, Bam Adebayo is listed as questionable with a right calf contusion. Adebayo played against the Hawks – and played well – but his status for Friday night’s game won’t be determined until before tipoff.
Nikola Jovic remains out with a fractured right hand. He will be re-evaluated next month.
Josh Christopher, Keshad Johnson and Isaiah Stevens are away from the team on G League assignment.
For the Pacers, Bennedict Mathurin is out and T.J. McConnell is questionable.
Key matchup
As long as he plays, Bam Adebayo vs Pascal Siakam will be fun to watch. This is the first matchup between the two teams since Kel’el Ware assumed the starting center spot and moved Adebayo to power forward. Instead of trying to shoot over Myles Turner, now Adebayo will be able to go one-on-one with someone his own size. Should be fun.
Davion Mitchell will have his hands full chasing Tyrese Haliburton in this game.
Betting
The Pacers are 4.5-point favorites in Miami.
