The Pacers are coming off a huge victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, edging Russell Westbrook’s crew 93-90. Indy’s defense has been spectacular in recent weeks, as the Pacers have held each opponent to under 100 while giving up an average of 89.8 points in the last four games.
Cleveland is coming off a dramatic 140-135 overtime win over the Washington Wizards on Monday that halted the Wizards’ 17-game home winning streak. The win was Cleveland’s fifth in its last six, with Kevin Love (39 points) and LeBron James (32 points, career-high 17 assists) leading the way. James hit a phenomenal game-tying fadeaway 3-pointer in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter to send the game to extra time.
The wine and gold have been a downright terrible bet against the Pacers in recent years. In Cleveland’s last eight vs Indiana, the Cavs are a pitiful 0-8 ATS.
