Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers prediction

This line has flipped heavily in favor of the Indiana Pacers, and that’s because the Cavs are banged up. The Cavs will be without Mitchell, Mobley, Strus and Wade is doubtful with a knee injury. The Cavs are racking up the losses as of late, and things won’t improve until they get some guys back from injury. The Pacers have beaten the Cavs twice this season, and they’re at home here with the healthier roster. That Pacers’ offense should have a field day, and the Cavaliers don’t have enough healthy horses to counter. Give me the Pacers in a comfortable win over the Cavs.
