*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Thursday, April 11th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, April 12th.
Indiana Pacers
Entering this match the Pacers sit sixth with a one game lead over the 76ers and in a virtual tie with the fifth-seeded Magic who sit in fifth. While they had hopes for a better position considering their injuries and roster changes just getting back to the playoffs will be a win.
Tyrese Haliburton hasn’t been the same player that made the Pacers NBA League Pass darlings prior to his injury and the stats bear witness to that fact.
The point guard was averaging 23.6 points, leading the league in assists (12.5) while shooting 40.3% from the perimeter. Post-injury he’s scoring 16.9 points while dishing 9.1 assists and his 3-point percentage has plummeted to 32.6%.
Pacers Stats
Indiana possesses the second-ranked offense (120.2) and is 24th (117.6) on defense while their net differential of plus +2.6 registers 12th overall.
The Pacers began the season strong and are still a decent bet against the spread with a 43-35-3 record through 80 matches.
Pacers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Isaiah Jackson, PF (questionable — hamstring)
- Bennedict Mathurin, SF (OUT for season — shoulder)
Cleveland Cavaliers
Every team wants to enter the postseason with momentum, building to peak at the perfect time. That’s far from the case for the Cavaliers who are struggling.
In fact, this past quarter was the worst of the season and the only losing quarter (8-12). While Donovan Mitchell hasn’t looked right, he’s not the only issue as Darius Garland has regressed in all major categories and Evan Mobley hasn’t taken a step particularly offensively.
Cavaliers Stats
Through 80 games, Cleveland ranks 17th offensively (114.6), and seventh defensively (111.9) with a plus +2.6 net differential that ranks 13th overall.
The Cavaliers have a middling record against the spread posting a 37-41-2 performance this season.
Cavaliers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Dean Wade, PG (downgraded to OUT— knee)
- Ty Jerome, PG (OUT indefinitely—ankle)
- Sam Merrill, SG (downgraded to doubtful — neck)

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
Cleveland will close out their season hosting the Hornets while the Pacers will host the Hawks.
Both teams will likely be top six seeds but they’ll enter the postseason with vastly different demeanors. Sure they both want to win but the Cavs were expected to take a leap and make a deep run this season so anything short of advancing to the semi-finals will be deemed a failure.
In contrast, everything the Pacers do is gravy with the team’s youngsters gaining playoff experience and could be a dark horse spoiler because they have nothing to lose. Haliburton needs time to heal but for now he’ll revel in the experience to bring into next season as motivation.
