Game 5 of this Eastern Conference series between the Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers is set to take place in Cleveland on Tuesday night. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions to see if the Pacers can close out the series or if the Cavaliers can extend the series at least a few more days.
Indiana enters this game on the verge of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals after blowing out Cleveland in Game 4 by a score of 129-109. The final score does not even tell the full story, as the Pacers were up by 41 points at halftime before coasting to an easy win. The Pacers had seven players score in double figures, and were led by Pascal Siakam, who scored a team-high 21 points.
As for Cleveland, they enter this game in a terrible spot as they now need to win three games in a row in order to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. A more pressing concern for the Cavaliers is the status of Donovan Mitchell for Game 5. Mitchell left the game at halftime in Game 4 after tweaking his ankle and is now questionable for Game 5.

Our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Pacers have taken complete control of this series and yet are still a decent-sized underdog for Game 5. Despite being an underdog, the Pacers have already beaten the Cavaliers in Cleveland twice in this series and now have a great chance to do so a third time and close out the series as well.
Of course, the status of Donovan Mitchell for the Cavaliers is a huge factor as to how this game might play out. Mitchell is averaging 34 points per game in the series, so if the Cavs are going to get back into this series, they will need him on the floor.
Regardless of whether Mitchell ends up playing or not, the Pacers should be able to keep this game close. Therefore, our Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Indiana Pacers +7.5.Jackpot Pools
