Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions

Friday night in the NBA sees the Indiana Pacers hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers for this Eastern Conference clash. This also marks the beginning of the NBA in-season tournament with this game also counting as the first Group A match for these two teams. The Pacers got the better of the Cavaliers 125-113 as the away team when these two teams first faced off in Cleveland last week. They come into this game off the back of a demoralizing 155-104 defeat to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. The 51-point defeat marked the second worst loss in Indiana Pacers history. They’ll have to quickly recover now as they return to the Bankers Life Fieldhouse where they are 1-1 on the season. Indiana shot an anemic 5 for 37 from three last season (12.5%) and struggled to get quality looks without their star point guard Tyrese Haliburton. The 23-year-old is looking likely to miss out on this one as well.

Cleveland were able to finally put an end to a three game winning streak in the team’s last appearance with a 95-89 away win over the Knicks. It was a much-needed result as things looked at risk of spiraling for the Cavs who finished fourth in the East last season with a 51-31 record. The Cavaliers will be out for revenge here and have a few key advantages on their side this time around. First of all, they will have star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell back for this one who is coming off a 30-point performance at Madison Square Garden. Additionally, Cleveland’s first meeting with Indiana came as the second leg of a back-to-back and their third game in a four day stretch. They come into this matchup with a full day’s rest after playing a home-and-home back-to-back two game series against New York

Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Pacers morale could very well be in the gutter following a humiliating defeat to the Celtics on Wednesday. They managed only 104 points in that game despite their high pace of play and getting up 104 total shots in that contest. Cleveland will attempt to slow this game down with a slower tempo and lean on their superior defense to shut down a Pacers team playing without their best player. Haliburton is a huge miss and led the team in win shares last season. With the Cavs seemiingly playing better on the road, back the visitors to get the win here. Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is for the Cavs on the -3 point spread.
