Indiana at Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers knew that when LeBron left town things were going to change, and they certainly have. Their once dominating homecourt advantage has been reduced to 3-8 this season. Overall this team is 45-130 in the post-LeBron era, winning about one of every three games. Those numbers have gotten worse this season as Cleveland is just 5-22 on the season. Indiana misses Danny Granger, but have held serve because they have committed themselves to the defensive end, and that will be the difference here. If the Cavs manage to keep this close, the Pacers have a huge edge down the stretch because they can get the important stops that Cleveland has lacked since LeBron left. Take Indiana on the moneyline.
