Indiana was laying 11.5 points and didn't cover in its 110-99 win over New York on Sunday. Now the Pacers are favored by double digits again and they haven't covered by more than 10 points yet this season. Cleveland has made some strides after a terrible start to the season, and the Cavaliers have won four of their last nine. The Pacers are just 1-4 ATS over their last five games against teams with .400 or worse winning percentages and 1-5 ATS their last six home games versus teams with losing road records. The road team has covered the number in four of the last five meetings. Indiana has been covering lately, but all of them have been smaller point spreads. Look for Cleveland to stay under the number in this one, so play the Cavaliers plus the points.
