Cavaliers vs Pacers Predictions
Indiana is on a legit hot streak, pouring in an average of 118.7 points over the course of its six-game fun run. That includes a dominating 68-40 second half romp over Cleveland, dealt just its second home loss of the year, a 108-93 defeat that was the Cavaliers’ lowest scoring output of the season. Defensively, they are holding teams to just 104 points per game. and limited the Cavs to 39.8% from the field, including a brutal 11-for-41 from downtown, a 26.8% clip.
The Pacers scored in multiple areas to end the Cavaliers' 12-game winning streak and defeated the league's top player. Six Pacers players scored in double digits, while four Cavaliers players scored in double digits. #NBA #Cavaliers #pacerswin pic.twitter.com/ZLecEuxpft

Cleveland is a team that ranks second in the league in scoring at 122.1 points per game, and lead the NBA in both field goal (50.2%) and 3-point shooting (40.4%). It’s easy to chalk up this performance as an outlier.
The Cavaliers are an impressive 13-3 on the road this season and have won five straight away from home, going a perfect 5-0-0 against the spread. The bounce back was coming anyways — the Cavs have lost back-to-back games just once this year — but the injuries to Haliburton and Nesmith definitely make the choice easier.
