Cleveland won the first meeting, 108-104, on Jan. 2 and pushed as a four-point favorite, but Indiana had won the previous five meetings. Both teams come into this matchup with some key injuries. The Pacers played well against Chicago on Friday before succumbing, 122-115, as Caris LeVert had 42 points for the Pacers. The Cavaliers have split their last four games after eking out a 102-101 victory at Charlotte two nights ago while shooting only 40%. That was after the Cavs lost to the lowly Houston Rockets, 115-104, on Wednesday. Indiana is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six road games, and Cleveland is 2-5-1 ATS in its last eight home games (1-5-1 ATS as a home favorite). Also, the Cavaliers are 0-6 ATS in their last six as favorites overall and 0-4-1 ATS versus teams with .400 or lower winning percentages. Play the Pacers.
