(NBA) Cleveland vs. Indiana,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -105.00 Indiana (Home)
Result: Loss
The Cavaliers head into Indiana up 2-0 in the series. Cleveland won its two home games by an average of 3.5 points.

The Pacers are a far better team at Bankers Life Fieldhouse going 29-13. The Cavaliers have a losing road record. They have a bad history at Indiana, too, going 1-6-1 ATS during their last eight visits.

From a pointspread perspective, the Pacers have dominated this series going 10--2-1 ATS.

Fiery Paul George can match LeBron James with his will to win. George is averaging 30.5 points, seven assists and five 3-points in the series. Myles Turner is due to play much better, which should happen at home. The Pacers have been excellent when having two days between games covering 21 of the last 27 times in that situation.

This really is the Pacers' season. The Cavaliers can't be trusted in this spot with their lack of defense and poor road record.
