Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
The teams are going back to Ohio with 3-1 in the series. And this is not the Cavaliers that lead, but the Pacers. However, betting sites still offer the odds around 3.00 for the Pacers to win the fifth game.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Darius Garland is back in the squad. However, now the best player of the Cavaliers Donovan Mitchell is injured. He never managed to play until the end in the fourth game (109:129) and all the flaws in the Cavaliers’ attacking actions became obvious. Mobley and Hunter are back in the squad too. However, the only scored 36 points along with Garland. Compare it to Mitchell, who scored 48 and 43 points in the last two games. The side has little chance to win without.
Indiana Pacers
The Pacers play in the way they like. Losing the third game didn’t harm them and in the fourth match seven players scored over 10 points. Siakam, Turner and Toppin even scored over 20 points. Unbelievable 37 assists and 49 points scored made the Pacers attacking players too confident. They seem unstoppable now.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
Betting sites are pretty sure that the Cavaliers will win. However, they have already been wrong on three occasions. The Pacers have been way stronger than the Conference winners. They can advance to the finals very soon.
