Indiana at Cleveland

This is a matchup that has produced little in the way of offense over the past few years. There wasn't a game last year that these two teams ever saw 185 points between them, and in fact the last 7 in this series has gone UNDER. You can go back even further than that to see that in the last 14 games these teams have faced off only one time did they reach 190 points in regulation. There was a game a few years ago taht was tied at 85-85 (170 points), but a 43 point OT session made the score look like it was a high scoring game. These teams seem to matchup fairly well on the defensive end of the court every year, and the game played earlier in Indiana didn't reach this total and went UNDER as well. Cleveland has also played under to the tune of 37 of 51 vs the Central, and Indiana has been UNDER in 22 of their last 28 vs teams with a .600 or better win percentage. We don't see anything that has changed, to make us think suddenly these teams are going to explode offensively, and change what history has shown to be a wise wager.
