The Cavaliers are (7-3) in their last ten games whereas the Pacers are (5-5).  Cleveland has the advantage in most of the major statistical categories. The Cavaliers have won six of their last ten games head to head with Indiana.  The Cavs have struggled on the second night of back to backs and there is a chance Lebron James will sit out.  I’m picking the Pacers to win a close one at home.
