Indiana Pacers Odds to Win Championship Still Solid Value After Heat Romp
The Indiana Pacers odds to win the Eastern Conference Championship were coming in at nearly 3/1 at BetOnline, where qualified customers can receive up to $900 in FREE CASH here.
The Pacers crushed the Miami Heat on Thursday and now lead the series 2-1 coming into Sunday. The Pacers were 15-of-31 (48.4 percent) from 15+ feet in Game 3 and made 8 of their 14 3-point field goals.
"We're certainly happy with the win," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "But we've got a lot of work to do."
"My primary focus is defense, defense, defense," Indiana center Roy Hibbert said. "I embrace that role and let the offense come to me. Them being one and done, that's what we talked about in the huddle," he said. "One shot and they're done."
There are rumblings of a mutiny in Miami after the Heat called off practice on Friday while announcing a media “blackout”.
According to Accuscore, which has run 10,000 computer simulations of the rest of the Heat-Pacers series, the Pacers have a 58.3 pct chance of winning the series, including a 16.8 pct chance of winning the next 2 games to close out the series in 5 games. However, if the Heat can win Game 4 to knot the series at two, the Heat will have a 68.0 percent chance to win the series.
