The Indiana Pacers (49-32) visit the Cleveland Cavaliers (64-17) on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the Rocket Arena.

This is the fourth time that the Pacers and Cavaliers will face each other this season. The Pacers are currently leading the regular season series, 2-1. Interestingly, the battles between these two top-ranked offensive teams have been low-scoring affairs.

In those three games, only one match breached a combined points total of 227. So far, the Pacers and Cavaliers combine for an average of 223.7 points when they play each other. It's quite the surprise, given that the Pacers are ranked 7th in offensive rating (116.7) and the Cavaliers are the best in that category (122.1).

Their fourth matchup could be another low-scoring game, with both teams resting their respective key players. The Cavaliers, who have already locked up the top seed in the Eastern Conference, will sit out Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Max Strus, Isaac Okoro, and Ty Jerome. 

Meanwhile, the Pacers have officially clinched the 4th spot in the playoffs and will rest stars Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam.

With their offensive firepower resting for the playoffs, expect both teams to struggle a bit on the offensive end of the floor.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

So far, the first three games between the Cavaliers and Pacers were mostly low-scoring battles. Given that they are resting their key players in the upcoming game, expect more of the same between these two teams.

The Pacers are resting Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, while the Cavaliers will sit out almost their entire rotation. This could be another low-scoring game, as second and third-stringers take over the playing minutes. Our prediction for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers match is: under 227.5.
