Premium Pick

Indiana looks to maintain its edge in the race for home-court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs by beating Cleveland for the 10th straight time. Cleveland hasn't reached 100 points in its last 11 games against Indiana, and has dropped 15 of 16 in the series.  Cleveland is banged up, has a losing record at home, and is 4-9 ATS following a spread loss. The Pacers have limited the Cavaliers to 76 points and 35.1 percent from the floor, including 21.3 percent (10 of 47) from 3-point range while winning the three meetings this season. Making matters worse, the Cavaliers will be without Kyrie Irving for the second straight meeting. Cleveland is off a blowout loss at Brooklyn, and the Cavaliers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a loss of more than 10 points. The Pacers are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings, too. Play the Pacers.
