Predictions, picks and odds as the Miami Heat play the Indiana Pacers in the 2024-25 NBA season on Nov. 17. Plus, injury updates and news.

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love turned the clock back to his youth Friday night. Love, 37, shined in the Heat’s bounce back victory over the Pacers. He scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Love started his third consecutive game after missing the season’s first eight outings for personal reasons.

Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle promised a different game when his team returns to the court Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It looks like the Miami Heat will give him one.

Miami star Jimmy Butler could rejoin the lineup when the Heat conclude a six-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Butler has missed three straight games with a sprained right ankle, but the six-time All-Star is traveling with the team and worked out on the court prior to Friday's 124-111 win over the Pacers.

The Indian Pacers suffered their second consecutive loss on Friday to the Miami Heat without their best player on the court.
