Game Preview
The Cavaliers’ streak of 12 consecutive wins ended this Sunday night at home when the Pacers won 108-93. Cleveland’s offense was the top in the league until this event, and it is now second with 122.1 points scored per game. They lead the NBA in FG percentage, 50.2%.
Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland shot 14/33 from the field, making six threes in 16 attempts. The Cavaliers’ FG percentage in this one was more than 11% lower than their average 39.8%
On the other hand, the Pacers proved their very good form, winning their seventh game in the previous ten. Beating the Cavs was Indiana’s sixth straight triumph, with them beating all their rivals by at least a 12-point margin.
It’s questionable whether Tyrese Haliburton will play in the upcoming matchup. He left the previous contest against the Cavs due to a hamstring tightness and is under evaluation now. It seems that his left hamstring has been an issue for a while now.
Cavaliers vs. Pacers Head-to-Head
Sunday’s game was the first and only between these two teams in the current season, 108-93.
Cavaliers vs. Pacers Prediction
The Cavs have been more than confident since the year started. They will be looking for a way to avenge the most recent defeat, and if Haliburton isn’t playing (and all the info suggests that), this is a perfect chance for them to take the W on the road. Even if Tyrese appears on the floor, we still go with the Cavs.
