Prediction:

Looking at the recent head-to-head record, the Cavaliers have won 3 out of the last 5 matchups, slightly edging out the Pacers. Considering the Cavaliers’ current winning streak, strong home-court performance, and the outstanding play of core players like Garland, they hold a certain advantage in this game. The Pacers, on the other hand, may face a bigger challenge playing away and facing a tough opponent like the Cavaliers. Therefore, the Cavaliers are likely to continue their winning momentum in this matchup.

Pick: Cavaliers -9.0 (bet365)
