The Indiana Pacers will play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in the NBA on Tuesday night. The Pacers (6-30) are bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, while the Cavs (20-17) are in eighth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The injury-ridden Indiana Pacers suffered their 30th loss of the season and 12th in succession on Sunday night when they were beaten 135-127 by the Orlando Magic on the road.
Pascal Siakam is pretty much the only player performing for the team at present. He put up 34 points against the Magic, but around him, there is very little for Pacers fans to be optimistic about.
Indiana are 5-14 at home this season. Without Tyrese Haliburton, they have the league’s worst offence and now face an opponent they’ve already lost to by double digits twice this season.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers are also performing well below the level they produced last season, and saw their three-match win streak halted by the Pistons 114-110 on Sunday.
Despite a solid showing by Donovan Mitchell, who delivered 30 points on 10 of 21 shooting, the Cavs have now lost 17 games already this term, just one shy of their tally across the entire of last season.
Still, Cleveland are the clear favourites in this match, but they will be without Mitchell and Larry Nance Jr, while Dean Wade and Jarrett Allen are listed as questionable.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Pacers have been the biggest disappointment in the league this season, and given their injury issues, with Haliburton, Jackson and Mathurin sidelined, it’s difficult to back them with any real confidence in the forseeable future.
The Cavaliers have not been great this season either, but they were finding some rhythm before facing the red-hot Pistons on Sunday. We fancy the visitors to bounce back and cover an achievable line in this one. Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Cleveland Cavaliers -4.5.
