The Cleveland Cavaliers (63-16) visit the Indiana Pacers (48-31) on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
This is the third time that the Cavaliers and Pacers will face each other this season. So far, they've split their games, with each team winning by double digits. However, the upcoming games don't matter much for the Cavaliers, who have already locked their position at the top of the Eastern Conference.
With that said, the Cavaliers are making the decision to rest their starters against the Pacers. Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Max Strus, and Evan Mobley are sitting out the Pacers game. On the other hand, the Pacers don't have key players listed on their injury report.
Moreover, the Pacers are at prime strength at this point of the season. They are currently on a five-game winning streak, as they're desperately chasing the third spot in the East. During that span, their defensive rating has improved from a season average of 114.5 to 110.7.
Offense has always been a strength for this Pacers team, but they could be a legit championship contender if they keep up this strong defense. Look for them to run up the score against the short-handed Cavaliers.
