"While it doesn't look like it on the surface, the Miami Heat's 15-point win over the Atlanta Hawks was a good win. Miami got back to its identity, without two of its players in Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, snapping a three-game skid. Though it will have a quick turnaround on Saturday night, the second night of a back-to-back, facing the reeling, beleaguered Indiana Pacers inside Kaseya Center. Tip-off is expected to be at 8:00 p.m. EST."
"Indiana was dealt a 140-122 loss at home to the Boston Celtics, its seventh-straight loss. Led by Jaylen Brown's 30-point effort and Payton Pritchard's 29-point effort, the Celtics shot 56.6 percent while burying 20 triples. Dating back to Tyrese Haliburton's achilles tear in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, they have been crushed by injury all season. The Pacers own the worst record in the East at 6-25."
