Indiana at Cleveland

January 5, 2014
img6:05 PM Eastern

Indiana is on a 35-16 ATS run, plus the Pacers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games. This is the deepest team in the NBA with a dominant frontcourt and a powerhouse defense. You don't have to tell the Cleveland Cavaliers that. The Pacers have taken eight straight meetings and 14 of the last 15, including a 91-76 victory over the Cavaliers on Tuesday. Cleveland lost for the ninth time in 11 games Saturday night in Brooklyn as it played its second straight without All-Star guard Kyrie Irving.  Cleveland has been one of the poorer offensive teams all season, and is predictably struggling even more without Irving, who is sidelined due to a bruised left knee. The Cavaliers are shooting 35.4 percent from the floor while averaging 84.5 points in two games without their leading scorer. The Cavaliers are 9-21 ATS against the Eastern Conference, 6-21 ATS versus the NBA Central Division.  Indiana has won by an average of 13.3 points during its eight-game winning streak vs. Cleveland, and the Pacers are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Play the Indiana Pacers.
