Cavaliers at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 116, Pacers 105

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Cavaliers (-220) to handle the Pacers (+180) on Monday. The spread offers a better, albeit more risky, value.

Against the spread

BET CAVALIERS -5.5 (-110).

Despite the Cavs playing on the second game of a back-to-back and their recent struggles, the Pacers present a great opportunity for the road team to get back on track. The Cavs built a lot of momentum in their near 20+-point comeback Sunday and looked like a revitalized team in their loss against the Celtics. They won their first matchup against the Pacers by 11 points only 10 days ago.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).

The Cavs have hit the Under in 7 of their last 8 games and have a 9-12 Over record. They have scored 115 or fewer points in 2 of their last 3 while holding opponents to 114 or fewer in 6 of their last 8.

The Pacers have hit the Under in each of their last 3 games, holding opponents to 101 or fewer points. They have scored 109 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5 and 112 or fewer in 6 of their last 9.
