Prediction
The Cavs have been up and down lately as they're 5-5 in their last 10 games and have struggled on the road as they have lost 3 of their last 4 games away from home. The Pacers just got their best player back in Haliburton and are coming from a win against the Kings. They already beat the Cavs earlier this season at home so 4 points are a gift. Give me the Pacers.
