Result:
WIN

The Indiana Pacers took some major hits with star player injuries this season, and also lost Stephenson to free agency. They went from an elite team to a bad one. But, since the return of George Hill, the Pacers have become infused with desire to find their way into the playoffs where they could become a dangerous team. The Pacers are 18-10 when Hill plays, who has become their leading scorer, and 12-27 when he doesn't. The line here is reflective of the poor Indiana record overall, but Hill has been a game changer, and the line is just too high. The Cavaliers have been steadily improving, but are just 1-4 ATS in their last five within the division, and would not be an -11 point favorite vs. a .642 team (Indiana with Hill), and the Pacers stay a lot closer here. Play the generous points on Indiana.
