Monday Analysis
Indiana (-3 ?) 90 MIAMI 85
The Pacers have dominated the first two games of this series and even a change of venue may not be enough to save the Heat even though they do play better at home. The problem is that Indiana plays equally better on the road and my ratings favor the Pacers by 3 ? points in this game. The Heat are 29-16 ATS at home this season but they?re only 6-7 ATS as a home underdog, including a 22 point loss in the Pacers only visit to Miami. The Pacers, meanwhile, have been about 1 ? points better this season in games when rested (veteran Reggie Miller doesn?t play as well on the second of back-to-back nights) and they are now 38-13 ATS when rested and not laying 10 points or more. There are no significant situations favoring either side, but I?ll lean slightly with Indiana (54% chance of covering at -3 ? points) and the Over.
Minnesota (+5) 95 SACRAMENTO 96
This is an interesting game to handicap since the Timberwolves qualify in a 25-4-1 ATS game 3 situation while the Kings qualify in a 25-5 ATS game 3 situation. Those two situations have applied to the same game twice and the situation favoring Minnesota is 2-0 ATS in those games. The situations slightly favor the Timberwolves and my ratings favor the Kings by just 3 points in this game, so it looks like taking the points is the way to go. Overall, the Timberwolves have a profitable 55% chance of covering at the current line of +5 points.
