Pacers at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Pacers 130, Cavaliers 105
Money line (ML)
The Pacers (-250) will cost you two-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s just too risky even though the Cavaliers (+190) are a dumpster fire right now.

Against the spread (ATS)
The PACERS -6 (-110) seems too good to be true, laying just three buckets against a Cavaliers +6 (-110) side that has dropped and failed to cover 10 consecutive games. Indiana is also 23-10-2 ATS across the past 35 meetings against Cleveland, as they have owned the Cavaliers over the years.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 229.5 (-110) is the way to go. The Pacers have rolled up at least 131 points in five of the past eight games, and they have allowed 126 or more points in five of the past seven. That high scoring and lack of defense is driving the Over train.
