Premium Pick

LeBron James wouldn't let his team lose on Sunday as he scored 32 points with 13 rebounds and seven assists and Kyle Korver came through with some clutch 3-point shooting as the Cavaliers won 104-100 to cover the number. Cleveland held Victor Oladipo to 5-of-20 shooting and 17 points and the Pacers shot just 43.0 percent overall and made only 12 of 33 from beyond the arc. Cleveland now has the momentum in addition to going home and the Cavs are 7-3 ATS their last 10 games after an ATS win. The Cavaliers would be going for the series win had they not blown a 17-point halftime lead in Game 3, but that scenario won't happen again on their home court. Indiana had seven players score in double figures and had more offensive rebounds and still came up short in Game 4. Take the Cavaliers for the win and cover in Game 5. Also take the UNDER in the first-half. Thus far in this series, the Pacers are scoring just 47.7 first-half points. In their last 19 road games this season, Indian ais 14-5 to the UNDER in the first half. And, over the past three seasons, they are 23-11 UNDER in the first-half on the road when revenging a home loss. Go with Cleveland and the first-half UNDER.
