Cleveland is going to rest Donovan Mitchell, its superstar scorer. The trade-off is a lower point spread and a reduced total. The Cavaliers rank 10th in scoring. They have the depth and veteran savvy to cover this number minus Mitchell. It helps playing the worst team in the NBA. The Pacers are 6-30. They have lost 12 straight games, going 4-8 ATS. Indiana has lost eight of its past nine games by at least seven points. The Pacers are giving up an average of 129.6 points in their last six games. On the season, the Pacers rank 27th defensively, surrendering 123.1 points a game, and they are last in defensive rebounding. Indiana will push tempo with guards Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith. Indiana ranks 11th in the NBA in terms of pace. Take the Cavaliers and the OVER.

Cleveland at Indiana
7:00 PM Eastern
Cleveland won the first meeting 120-109 on Nov. 21, and now it will look to snap a three-game skid after losing 117- 115 to Boston on Sunday. The Cavaliers have won five straight against the Central Division, and Indiana has lost 16 of its past 20 games. The Pacers' last three wins have been against teams with a combined record of 17-40. The Cavaliers have been struggling to get off to a good start and have had to mount late runs to catch up. Indiana has been ravaged by injuries this season and will play its third game in four days. Cleveland will be doing the same, but the Cavs have more depth to handle it. Look for Cleveland to focus on getting an early lead to snap its current slide. Take the Cavaliers.
