Indiana at Cleveland

Premium Pick

The Indiana Pacers took some major hits with star player injuries this season, and also lost Stephenson to free agency. They went from an elite team to a bad one. But, since the return of George Hill, the Pacers have become infused with desire to find their way into the playoffs where they could become a dangerous team. The Pacers are 18-10 when Hill plays, who has become their leading scorer, and 12-27 when he doesn't. The line here is reflective of the poor Indiana record overall, but Hill has been a game changer, and the line is just too high. The Cavaliers have been steadily improving, but are just 1-4 ATS in their last five within the division, and would not be an -11 point favorite vs. a .642 team (Indiana with Hill), and the Pacers stay a lot closer here. Play the generous points on Indiana.
