<h2>
Cleveland Cavaliers at Indiana Pacers Overview<br />
</h2>

<b>Indiana Pacers </b>
</p>

<h2>
Reasons To Back Cleveland<br />
</h2>
<p>
Rivalry games produce the unexpected even if the comparative quality of both sides seem far contrasting. When the Pacers were the weaker team of the two when the Cavaliers still had LeBron James, they were the one team that consistently gave Cleveland fits. There is no reason to surmise that Cleveland cannot do the same here given the intensity of this rivalry. Given the fact that Cleveland owns an edge in both committing turnovers and a deeper bench, there is likely more than enough points on the table for Cleveland to cover as they will have a few key edges to keep this one close.
</p>
<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Indiana<br />
</h2>
<p>
Takers will place stock in Indiana’s winning-streak combined with their extensive profitability in this series as of late and Cleveland’s poor 2-11 SU road record. All three of these ingredients put the Pacers in a position to be overvalued where they are laying an inflated number to their divisional foes. Given the overall state of the Cavs’ this season, this propensity is only maximized.
