The Cavaliers are not good and now they are on the road against one of the hottest team in the NBA. That does not bode well.
Indiana has been great lately and creeping up the standings in the NBA as a result. I am still not sold on their ceiling but there is no doubt they are good.
Cleveland Cavaliers
There are some bad teams in the league and at the end of the season it would not be a surprise if Cleveland was the worst among them, they are not far off right now. Injuries are creeping in too.

Kevin Love has been out all season and now they are going to be without Tristan Thompson for a little while. Thompson is the team’s best rebounder and an efficient offensive player. There is really no replacement for him either.
Ante Zizic is going to try. I think they got him from Boston in the Kyrie trade. Thompson is one of those rare players who has a knack for rebounding, especially offensively. He gives them extra scoring opportunities and this team definitely needs them.

Jordan Clarkson is going to have to have one of his big nights for this one to be competitive. He leads the team in scoring even though he comes off the bench. There are not a lot of consistent options elsewhere.
Cedi Osman has the look of a fine player but I am not sure if that is because those around him are so terrible or he is just that good. Either way, he is smart with the ball and can do everything pretty well even if he is not elite in any one area.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers have won seven in a row and have the best defense in the NBA. They are playing great ball especially now that they have their lead dog back in Victor Oladipo. They might be without Tyreke Evans though and he has been an important cog this season.
With Oladipo back everyone slots into roles they are more comfortable in. He can take and make tough shots and the likes of Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner can use their energy to get points all over the floor. Veteran point Darren Collison holds it all together. .

Indiana should have an easy time with Cleveland and might enjoy putting the screws to them given they are in the same division but now they are the team that is on top. The number is likely big.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
Given how well Indiana is playing right now they should be heavy favourites in this one.
Just one meeting between these two clubs so far this season, Indiana won by 12 as a 7 point road favourite.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Pacers ATS
They can easily win by that much again but the spread is likely to be a lot bigger. Maybe double digits given location and form.
