The Cleveland Cavaliers eye their fourth win in five games when they play the slumping Indiana Pacers on Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Current Form: The Cavaliers’ three-game winning streak came to an end after bowing to the Detroit Pistons, 110-114, on January 4. Cleveland had beaten a trio of Western Conference powerhouses such as the San Antonio Spurs (113-101), the Phoenix Suns (129-113) and the Denver Nuggets (113-108) before the loss to the No.1 team in the East.
Meanwhile, the Pacers haven’t tasted a win since December 8 win over the Sacramento Kings, 116-105. Indiana’s losing streak has now reached 12 games with their latest setback dealt by the Orlando Magic, 127-135, on January 4.
Players to Watch: Evan Mobley (17.7 ppg and 8.9 rpg) and Darius Garland (17.0 ppg and 6.9 apg) will have to step up in the absence of Donovan Mitchell. Pascal Siakam has been the most productive Pacer this season, averaging 23.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
Injury Report: Cavs’ Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Larry Nance Jr. (calf) are listed out, while Jarrett Allen (Illness) and Dean Wade (knee) are game-time decisions. Indiana will be missing Benedict Mathurin (Thumb) and Obi Toppin (foot).
