NBA Odds: Cavaliers-Pacers prediction, odds and pick

Cleveland Cavaliers lost 125-117 to Brooklyn Nets on Monday. The Pacers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 129-114 earlier this week. They are 6-4 over the last 10 games, but 2-8 over their previous 10 away from home. Pacers are 5-5 over last ten games and 10-7 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Pacers lead the all-time series 105-99. Cavs won the previous game 118-112 at home and lost both games at the Gainbridges Field House last season.

Cleveland Cavaliers are 22-13 and have played inconsistently. They have the scorers and the depth to compete with anyone and star power to beat anyone. Their loss to the Nets highlighted their issues on the defensive end and how they struggle to contain elite scorer. The Cavs are seventh in field goal percentage and 12th from the 3-point line.

The Pacers are 18-17 and playing better basketball than anyone expected. Their young stars are blossoming. They are 25th in field goal percentage shooting, 11th from the 3-point line and 15th at the free-throw line. However, they are second in blocks. The Pacers will cover the spread if their four scorers can hit their shots from beyond the arc and they contain Mitchell and Garland.

The Pacers have shown improvement from last season.
