Premium Pick

Indiana did get a 107-104 win over Sacramento on Friday, but the Pacers had lost 11 of their previous 12 games and they are losing hope of making the playoffs. The teams have split two meetings this season with Cleveland looking to avenge a 135-126 loss on Dec. 29 when both teams shot better than 50 percent. The Cavaliers have won three of five after defeating Memphis 128-113 on Thursday while shooting 53.8 percent, and Darius Garland scored 32 points. The Pacers have been lacking defensively and they allow 116.9 points per game, 47.3 percent shooting overall, and 37.1 percent from 3-point distance. On Sunday, the Cavs are 14-4-1 ATS the past two seasons including a 7-2 ATS record this year, outscoring teams by 10.2 points on average. Indiana is 0-5 ATS its past five games playing with one day of rest and 3-8 ATS its previous 11 games overall. Take the Cavaliers.
