Cavaliers won seven of last eight games with the Pacers; they covered their last three visits here. Five of last six series games went over the total. Cleveland won its last 13 games; they’re 4-4 vs spread as road favorites. Under is 6-2-1 in their last nine games. Indiana won eight of their last 11 games; they’re 8-4 vs spread at home, 2-2 as home dogs. Under is 5-1-1 in their last seven games.
Indiana has been a nice surprise this season as little was expected of them after dealing Paul George to the Thunder. Instead, the Pacers are 14-11 and in the hunt for a playoff spot right now. Granted, a lot can change but it’s been a nice story so far this season. Cleveland has found itself with 13 straight wins after starting the year 5-7 but they can’t keep with the slow starts. The Cavaliers are still losing games ATS after being favored by double digits, something that happened extremely rarely earlier in James’ career.
