Cleveland at Indiana

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.
