While the Cavaliers deserve credit for a strong season and hold the edge at home with extra rest, don’t expect the Indiana Pacers to be a walkover in this Eastern Conference semifinal opener. Cleveland enters with a solid 51-34-1 record against the spread, but there are concerns—most notably the uncertain status of Darius Garland, who could miss Game 1 due to injury.
On the flip side, Indiana’s offense is red-hot and difficult to fade as an underdog. Since January, the Pacers have looked like one of the league’s most dangerous teams, and they proved it by eliminating the Milwaukee Bucks in a grueling six-game battle. Their offensive firepower, led by a deep rotation and a fast-paced tempo, gives them the tools to pressure even elite defensive teams like the Cavs.
Recent history is also on Indiana’s side—they’ve won three of the last four meetings against Cleveland. If the momentum from the Bucks series carries over, don’t be surprised if this matchup turns into a tightly contested series, regardless of what the odds suggest. Take Indiana ATS
