img7:00 PM Eastern

Cleveland will be without Donovan Mitchell again as he waits for a knee contusion to heal, but the Cavaliers will have center Tristan Thompson, who returned from a 25-game suspension on Saturday and played 15 minutes against Houston. The Cavaliers are 20-12 straight up on the road and Indiana is only 21-14 at home. Cleveland blew out New Orleans 116-95 and then got off to bad start against the Rockets and were down 70-54 at halftime and lost 117-103. Cleveland is 8-2 ATS as an underdog of 5.0-10.5 points and it has covered four in a row after an ATS loss. The Pacers are 1-5-1 ATS as home favorites of 5.0-10.5 points and 1-8-1 ATS overall in that situation. Also, Indiana is just 2-8 ATS its past 10 games following an ATS win and it comes off a 121-100 victory over Brooklyn. Take the points with the Cavaliers as a Max Play.
