The Cavaliers' recent form at home, combined with their strong record against the spread when favored, makes them the better pick in this matchup. Indiana has been solid on the road, but Cleveland's defensive edge and ability to close out games at home should give them the upper hand. Expect the Cavaliers to cover the 3-point spread.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Darius Garland Over 7.5 Assists

widget-props-nba-5344-2378000

Garland has been a key playmaker for the Cavaliers, and his ability to distribute the ball effectively will be crucial against the Pacers. With Indiana's defense ranking in the bottom half of the league against opposing point guards, Garland should have plenty of opportunities to rack up assists.

2. Tyrese Haliburton Over 22.5 Points

Haliburton has been the offensive engine for the Pacers, and he thrives in high-scoring games. With Cleveland's defense focusing on limiting other options, Haliburton should see a high usage rate and exceed this points line.

3. Evan Mobley Over 9.5 Rebounds

Mobley has been a dominant force on the boards, especially at home. Against a Pacers team that struggles to control the glass, Mobley is well-positioned to hit double-digit rebounds in this matchup.
