Indiana at Cleveland

Cleveland is playing in a back-to-back situation, but it shouldn't make much difference because LeBron James took the day off and the rest of his team put on a sluggish performance in yesterday's 113-99 loss at Washington. Kyrie Irving scored 28 points but the Cavaliers shot just 40.0 percent compared to 49.4 percent for the Wizards. Cleveland has won both meetings with the Pacers this season, including a 111-106 overtime road win on Feb. 1 when the Cavaliers shot 50 percent from the field and Irving and James had 25 and 24 points, respectively. Indiana has lost two in a row and three of its last four after a 111-102 home loss to Portland yesterday. Monta Ellis finished with 18 for the Pacers, whose defense let them down again, allowing the Trail Blazers to shoot 50.6 percent from the floor. Indiana is 0-4 ATS over its last four games overall and 3-13 ATS with no rest. Cleveland is 4-1-1 ATS when playing on no rest. Look for Cleveland to bounce back from its lackluster performance, so play the Cavaliers.
