May 20, 2014 08:25 PM EDT

The Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers are playing Tuesday on the NBA playoffs schedule and the Game 2 matchup from Bankers Life Fieldhouse starts at 8:30 pm ET on ESPN and comes with a live stream from WatchESPN after the draft lottery and has LeBron James and Dwyane Wade looking to avoid 2-0 in the series with Indy up 1-0 and they are hoping for a 1-1 series and the matchup comes before the eastern conference finals heads to South Beach.

James and Dwyane Wade were simply overmatched by Indiana in Game 1 and this is the Pacers team that many expected when they came into the playoffs as the number one seed in the east. Paul George and Lance Stephenson had great games and now the team is playing with confidence after making it out of two tough rounds against the Wizards and the Hawks. Wade had 27 points to lead the Heat while George had 24 points and now Miami will try and split in Indiana and that will be a huge matchup in Game 2, as there will be four days off in between the next game and that means Game 3 will be on Saturday in Florida and Miami could potentially be down 2-0 in the series.

The Miami Heat are down 1-0 against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals after losing Game 1 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and that puts LeBron James on defense has Game 2 is on the schedule for Tuesday. James scored 49 points and 29 points in the final two games against the Brooklyn Nets and now he has the chance to step it up again in a very tough game. Paul George led the way for the Pacers and he will once again be a primary focus for LeBron and now the team is looking to break their streak in Indy. Last season the Heat won over the Pacers in seven games and the previous season they defeated the team in the second round after going down 2-1 in the series.

The Miami Heat have lost the first games of series before and rallied back on four different occasions and they will try and make it five with this one against the Pacers. The team was down 2-1 and 3-2 previously to the Indiana Pacers and now they have the chance to rally again and that second matchup could be crucial with the days off coming up. LeBron James and Wade spoke after the game about playing better in the next matchup and they gave respect to the Pacers. The teams have played in each of the last three seasons and this is the second season in a row they are playing in the eastern conference finals.

Chris Andersen and Chris Bosh need to play bigger and more aggressive down low, while Dwyane Wade showed he is not done yet while leading the Heat in scoring with 27 points in the last game. The team is the best in the league at making adjustments and they will have to do that on Tuesday. The teams come in with 13 of the last 15 games being won by the home team in head to head matchups and Miami is looking to stop that streak.
