Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Prediction & Picks

Let’s back Cavaliers in this NBA matchup. The underdogs have been given an appealing +9.5 on the spread. We think -112 can be taken with confidence that they cover the line.

We study the form as a first port of call and also make sure we’re across any injuries before making NBA predictions. Then it’s a case of understanding the sort of narrative that the stats provide.

Key Cavaliers vs Pacers stats:

• The +9.5 line has been covered by Cavs in all of their last 5 games.
• The +9.5 line has been covered by Cavs in 17 of their last 20 games.
• The +9.5 line has been covered by Cavs in 5 consecutive games.
• The -9.5 line hasn’t been covered by Pacers in 7 of their last 10 games at home.
• The -9.5 line hasn’t been covered by Pacers in 14 of their last 20 games.

Cavs +9.5 Probability

When you look at the latest odds, our pick has a 52.9% chance of landing a return. However, our analysts think that the probability is close to 60% taking all factors into consideration. It is therefore regarded as a value bet.

There’s the opportunity to sell points and that means moving the line until you’re happy with the bet. It means a riskier wager but a bigger return on the odds available.
