The Cleveland Cavaliers are up against the wall as they now trail the Indiana Pacers 2-1 in their best of seven opening round series. The Cavs are perhaps the most over-rated team in the NBA this season, amzainly due to having LeBron James playing at a high level. There is a couple big differences, however. James does not have nearly as good of a supporting cast as past years, and the Cavs are a #4 seed, telling of itself. Kevin Love is the only other Cavs player scoring double-digits this series, and he is shooting 40%. Indiana is getting a lot of points in the paint. And, in fact, when a team has had a two-game total of +33 or more points scored in the paint, and is facing the same team in the playoffs, they are 41-22 ATS. Make the play on Indiana.
