Cleveland Cavaliers have failed to cover in 5 of their last 7 road games
The two teams are allowing a combined 127.3 points per game

Cleveland Cavaliers won 127-117 when the two teams last met on January 14

Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland head to Indiana with the number one seeing wrapped up thanks to seven wins in their last nine games.

The Cavaliers lost four straight in the middle of March, but got things back on track before the end of the month as they beat Utah 120-91, Portland 122-111 and San Antonio 124-116.

They failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 133-122 in Detroit, only to rebound with another three-game run.

Cleveland beat the LA Clippers 127-122 and New York 124-105 at home, before heading to San Antonio to down the Spurs 114-113.

The Cavaliers then fell 120-113 at home to Sacramento, but issued an immediate response as they took down Chicago 135-113.

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana enter this matchup in fantastic form, having won 11 of their previous 13 games and each of the last five.

The Pacers began this sequence with a five-game win streak that was eventually ended by a 120-119 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers.

They rebounded to blow out the Wizards in Washington, 162-109, only to then lose 132-111 at Oklahoma City.

Indiana have not lost since though, sparking this five-game win streak by beating Sacramento 111-109, Charlotte 119-105 and Utah 140-112 at home.

The Pacers then ran out 125-120 winners in Denver, before heading back home to down Washington 104-98.

Verdict

CLE Cavaliers @ IND Pacers

Cleveland have clinched home court advantage for the playoffs and are likely to take their foot off the gas over the final few games.

That means resting their best players or at least limiting their minutes, so we are backing the in-form Pacers in this one.
