Bet of the day: George to score 22 or more points in Pacers triumph

Coral’s bet of the day

• Miami are 8-17 this season, third bottom of the Eastern Conference
• Paul George is on his way to averaging the highest points per game (PPG) of his career
• Heat are 3-8 at home this season

George 11/4 to score 22 or more in Pacers win

Coming off the back of consecutive wins, Nate McMillan’s Indiana Pacers will look to pile yet more misery on a Miami Heat side still recovering after losing franchise player Dwyane Wade in the offseason.

After recovering from a horrific injury last season Pacers’ star man Paul George is averaging 21.8 points per game, well on his way to a career high, and will look to rise against a sometimes lax Miami defence.

George has recorded 22 and 37 in his last two run outs on the hard court and, with Erik Spoelstra’s Miami with just three wins from 11 games at home this term, take advantage of our bet of the day and back George to score 22 points or more in a Pacers win at 11/4 (£/€20 max stake) with Coral.

Heat deficiencies to prove decisive

The teams split a four-game series last term, but Indiana were busy in the offseason attracting talent from around the league, while the Floridian side lost their leader.
