Cavaliers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 117, Cavaliers 108

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Pacers (-275) to beat an injury-riddled Cavs team that has lost 3 of its last 4.

Against the spread

BET PACERS -6.5 (-115).

Cleveland has failed to cover in 2 of its last 3 road games and is without its leading scorer in Mitchell, amongst other key players.

It faces a Pacers team that is 3-1 ATS in its last 4 and 4-2 ATS in its last 6. The Pacers are 36-29-3 ATS on the season, while the Cavs are 33-34 ATS. Look for G Tyrese Haliburton to stimulate the offense and take advantage of the beaten-up Cavs.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225.5 (-105).

As it stands, this is the highest total in the Cavs’ last 10 games. They have scored 111 or fewer in 7 of their last 9 and allowed 112 or fewer in 6 of their last 9.

The Pacers have hit the Under in 7 of their last 10 overall and have held opponents to 113 or fewer in 4 of their last 5. Against a Cavs team that is struggling due to injury, expect Indiana to continue that trend Monday.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (32-22) and Indiana Pacers (25-29) face off Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cavaliers vs. Pacers odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Pacers ended their 4-game winning streak with the help of All-Star G Tyrese Haliburton, who has made the Pacers look like a play-in team in the 2 games he has been back from injury. They beat the Sacramento Kings 107-104 as 2.5-point underdogs on Friday thanks to their 41.5 percentage behind the arc.

The Cavaliers haven’t won 2 games in a row since Jan. 2 and they have a great opportunity here after beating the Memphis Grizzlies 128-113 as 6-point favorites Thursday at home. They shot 48.3% from 3 and got 32 points from G Darius Garland.

The teams have split 2 meetings this season. The Pacers won 118-112 in Cleveland while the Cavaliers won 135-126 in Indianapolis.

Cavaliers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 117, Pacers 114

Moneyline

Few people doubt that Cleveland is the better team, but they do struggle on the road. As a road favorite they are 8-8 and overall are just 10-16 as the visiting team. I would AVOID this line but you could consider the Cavaliers 1st-quarter lines as the Pacers are 30th in Q1 points against Cleveland’s number 1 defense.

Against the spread

The Pacers are 13-6 ATS as a home underdog. On top of that Indiana is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games against teams with a losing road record.

In contrast, the Cavaliers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games coming off a win. And Cleveland hasn’t covered in their last 5 games after a double-digit win.

BET PACERS +4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The current line is definitely on the low side, while both teams trend towards the Under, it looks like the line reflects that expectation. The Pacer defense is not great since they are 26th in opponent 3-point percentage and 21st in field goals made per game.

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-112).

Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (22-13) and the Indiana Pacers (18-17) meet Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bucks vs. Bulls odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Cavaliers suffered a 125-117 loss as 2.5-point favorites against the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Monday, its 2nd straight loss. It’s the 1st time Cleveland has lost consecutive games since a 5-game losing streak Nov. 7-16. The Over has cashed in 4 straight outings.

The Pacers (+1.5) picked up a 129-114 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. It is looking to avenge a 118-112 loss in Cleveland on Dec. 16, although Indiana did cover as an 8-point underdog as the Over cashed.

Cavaliers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 113, Pacers 110

Moneyline

The Cavaliers (-220) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive for a team which is coming off consecutive home losses.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead in this potentially close game.

Against the spread

The PACERS +5.5 (-108) is a solid play on their home floor.

The Cavaliers -5.5 (-112) have the better record overall, but it is struggling against the number lately. Cleveland is just 1-8-1 ATS in its last 10 road games, while cashing in just 2 of the previous 10 road games against teams with a winning home record.

The Pacers have covered 5 of the last 7 games overall, while going 5-2 ATS in the last 7 against winning teams, too.

Over/Under

UNDER 223.5 (-108) is lean, ever so slightly, so go with a half-unit wager at best.

While the Cavs have cashed the Over in 4 in a row, the Under is 4-1 in the last 5 road games. The Under is also 9-3 in the last 12 trips to Indianapolis.

The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 games overall, while going 5-2-1 in the last 8 games playing on a day of rest.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (37-27) visit Gainbridge Fieldhouse Tuesday to take on the Indiana Pacers (22-44). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Cavaliers vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Cavs are coming off a 104-96 home win over the depleted Toronto Raptors, covering as 5-point favorites. That was Cleveland’s second straight cover as they rebound from a 0-6 skid against the spread (ATS).

The Cavaliers are 4-6 ATS over their last 10. They’re 17-16 straight up on the road but are just 5-6-1 ATS as a road favorite, a situation they’ll be in against the Pacers.

Indiana is coming off a 133-123 loss to the Washington Wizards, failing to cover as a 2-point road underdog. The Pacers are also just 4-6 ATS over their last 10 outings and are 29-34-3 ATS on the season. They’re led by G Buddy Hield who is averaging 20 points per game in 10 outings with Indiana.

Cavaliers at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 113, Cavaliers 108

Money line

SPRINKLE on the PACERS (+122).

I would wait until the status of Duarte and Bitadze is announced, mainly due to the lack of size in the Pacers frontcourt without their starting center active.

First-time All-Star Allen isn’t available for Cleveland. The Cavs are just 2-6 straight up without him in the lineup. That lack of size could bode well for Indiana given its pace and style of play.

The Pacers rank third in offensive rebounding rate while the Cavs are just the 17th-best defensive rebounding team and down their starting center. The second-chance opportunities should be bountiful for Indiana.

Cleveland has also lost its last four road games. While it did beat Indiana 120-113 Feb. 11 they did so with Allen recording 22 points and 14 rebounds while shooting 8-for-12. His absence will be a difference-maker.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

BET on the PACERS +2.5 (-105).

Indiana hasn’t been good this season. It sits fourth in the Central Division and is 10 games out of playoff seeding despite that it was projected to be a potential playoff team.

However, it’s mainly been the Pacers’ road play that has plagued them where they’re 7-26. Indiana is still 15-18 at home. The Pacers are 7-7 ATS as a home underdog which is a better ATS record than Cleveland’s as a road favorite.

The Pacers rank seventh in second-chance points while the Cavs are third in opponents’ second-chance points, but that’s another area Cleveland may struggle without Allen in the lineup.

Over/Under

PASS.

Indiana plays at too high of a pace for me to back the Under, but Allen’s impact on the defensive end cannot be understated.

I0’d lean to the Over if there is a play, but I see Allen’s absence hurting the Cavs on both ends of the court so I don’t necessarily trust them offensively either.

Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (34-21) visit Gainbridge Fieldhouse to take on the Indiana Pacers (19-37). Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Cavaliers vs. Pacers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

With several key injuries, the Cavaliers made it known they were looking to compete this season by adding Pacers star SG Caris LeVert prior to the trade deadline. The Cavaliers have been among the best teams in the NBA to bet on, posting a 33-20-2 against the spread (ATS) record.

They’ve managed that behind their stellar defense which ranks No. 1 in opponents’ points per game (101.9 PPG). Cleveland is just 4-5-1 ATS as an away favorite though.

The Pacers, who may finally get back PG Malcolm Brogdon, were also active at the deadline, bringing in Kings PG Tyrese Haliburton and trading leading scorer PF Domantas Sabonis.

The Pacers are just 25-28-3 ATS this season. Despite a 19-37 overall record, Indiana is 13-15 at home.

Cavaliers at Pacers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 108, Pacers 99

Money line

PASS.

As noted, the Pacers play better at home and that should be enough to warrant a pass on the Cavaliers -340 money line. Similarly, Indiana (+260) is without many key starters, making an upset unlikely.

Against the spread

LEAN to the CAVALIERS -7.5 (-105).

The Cavaliers are looking to contend, and the Pacers are on the other side, potentially staring a rebuild in the face. Indiana’s strong homecourt advantage gets put aside when realizing it traded its two top scorers.

Indiana ranks 17th in points per game (108.8 PPG) and scored just 85 as Cleveland covered a 7-point spread in a 13-point win last time these two teams met. Both teams rank in the bottom third of the league in turnover rate, and there isn’t a significant advantage on the glass.

Despite that, the Cavs rank 10th in true shooting whereas the Pacers sit 23nd. The Cavs’ elite defensive efficiency, holding opponents to the third-lowest shooting percentage, should be the key difference.

They’ve covered 3 in a row, and with the Pacers failing to cover 4 in a row, the preferred side to back is CLEVELAND -7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 213.5 (-115).

Given the size Cleveland has in the paint, points are not easy to come by, one reason for it’s 20-35 O/U. More recently, the Cavs are 3-7 O/U in their last 10.

Indiana and Cleveland went far under the O/U 212.5 line in their last meeting, which the Cavs won 98-85 Feb. 6.

The Over has hit in 7 of the Pacers’ last 10 games, but considering their recent trades and discontinuity with the recent additions, fewer points seem to be the better option to back.

Cavaliers at Pacers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Pacers 117, Cavaliers 105

Money line (ML)

Pacers (-300) are a good bet to win at home, but laying three times your potential return is not a good long-term betting strategy unless you toss it into a multi-team parlay. Betting -300 in a standalone bet might have you drinking that cheap dollar store wine in a box to ring in the new year instead of the good stuff if you do it enough. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

PACERS -7.5 (-105) seems like a tall order, but consider the series history. Even when LeBron was on the Cavaliers (-115), they’re more like their old moniker in Cleveland, ‘the Cadavers’, when it comes to facing Indiana. The Cavs are just 9-22-2 ATS in the past 33 meetings with the Pacers, and 2-6 ATS in their past eight sojourns to Indianapolis.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 216.5 (-110) is the way to go in this game, although you’ll be going against the series trends that point to the Under in overwhelming fashion. In the past 17 meetings the Under is 11-5-1, including 8-1 in the past nine battles in Indy.

However, Indiana has hit the Over in each of their past seven homes games against a team with a winning road mark, and the Over is 17-7 in their past 24 following a straight-up loss. Cleveland has also hit the Over in 15 of the past 21 road games against a team with a winning home record, and they’re 13-4 in the past 17 following a non-cover.
