They’ve also covered in nine of their last 12 games when taking on Eastern Conference opponents.

OUR PREDICTION: The Pacers are an impressive 7-1-1 against the spread in their last nine games against the Cavs and are 7-3-1 at the betting window in their last 11 games overall. On the other side, the Cavs are winless against the number in their last four games when playing on no rest and are just 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games when their starting five players combine for more than 160 minutes on the previous day. With the Cavs playing on tired legs, the Pacers should be able to hang tonight.
