What to Know

The Miami Heat will be playing at home against the Indiana Pacers at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Kaseya Center. The Heat are expected to win (but not by much) so they better bring their A-game into this one.

The Heat had to suffer through a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They came out on top against Indiana by a score of 142-132 on Thursday. The Heat were down 20-7 with 7:38 left in the first quarter but they still came back for the handy ten-point win.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Heat haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 12.3 turnovers per game.
