Pre-match view
Miami has the better team-level evidence, supported by its recent scoring peak and Indiana's reported absences, but Miami's poor start and defensive lapses keep Indiana live, especially against the handicap cushion.
Player forecasts are empty, so rotation uncertainty remains real.
Miami's Antetokounmpo-Adebayo frontcourt and Indiana's reported absences of Haliburton, McConnell and Zubac shape the team-level edge, while unresolved bench roles keep rotation risk alive.
NBA rules: full-game winner, handicap and totals include overtime. The 48-minute result, halves and quarters exclude it.
Experimental forecasts: accuracy has not yet been validated against historical results.
