(NBA) Indiana vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -104.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
The Pacers are coming into this game with a 46-34 record this season and they are currently sitting in 6th place in the Eastern Conference right now. They have been playing very well recently as they have won their last 3 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games, but they have also won a majority of those games at home. They are coming off of a road win against the Raptors in their last game but that was their only road win in that 6 game span, their only loss coming against the Nets in their only other road game during that time. They are 21-19 on the road this season but have not been as good in those games and they have also lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their last 5 games on the road as well. They are going up against a Cavaliers team that is 47-33 this season and they are currently sitting in 4th place in the Eastern Conference, but they have not clinched a playoff spot yet and are technically still able to fall into the play-in tournament. They need to win this game to avoid that scenario altogether and they have been much better at home this season at 25-14. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games as they have been struggling recently, but they are coming off of a 12 point win at home against the Grizzlies in their last game and they are starting to play much better now that Donovan Mitchell is back and getting back in the rhythm of playing in this lineup. The Cavaliers are going to be hungry to win this game at home as they want to clinch a playoff spot, but they also want to gain some steam again going into the playoffs since they have not been playing well recently, missing Mitchell over the last few weeks. The Cavaliers will get up for this game at home. The Cavaliers will cover the spread in this game.
