Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Cavaliers are the small favorite in the game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. Considering that neither team has played a game in any of the Summer League competitions thus far, both teams have massive question marks.
To this point, the chemistry for both teams has likely yet to be established in a real game situation, and for the most part, both teams have widely inexperienced rosters.
There is a chance that they will immediately click on the court, but the more likely result seems to be a low-scoring defensive game. For that reason, our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is: Under 178.5 Total Points.
