Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
This line has tilted heavily in favor of the Indiana Pacers, and that’s because the Cavs are struggling. The Cavs will be without Mitchell, Mobley, Strus and Wade is doubtful with a knee injury. The Cavs have been losing a lot lately, and things won’t get better until they get some guys back from injury. The Pacers have beaten the Cavs twice this season, and they are at home here with a healthier team. The Pacers’ offense should be having a field day, and the Cavaliers don’t have enough healthy horses to counter. Give me the Pacers in a comfortable win over the Cavs.
