Cleveland Cavaliers -7 over Indiana Pacers (-110)
The mighty Cavs are hoping to avoid losing back-to-back games for only the 2nd time this season as they head to Indiana to face a Pacers team that just beat them 2 days ago. Cleveland actually played well in that game up until the 3rd quarter, leading by as many as 15 points in the first half, but a disastrous 3rd period in which they went just 4-for-20 from the field while committing 7 turnovers cost them the game. It’ll be interesting to see how they respond to facing adversity, which hasn’t happened many times so far this season.
Cleveland has been a well-oiled machine this year and minor bumps on the road along the way are to be expected. And that’s exactly what Sunday’s game was. It’s really hard to imagine the most lethal three-point shooting team going 11-for-41 in back-to-back games. With no playmaking by Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers’ offense will likely struggle to keep up. Expect the Cavs to bounce back with a vengeance and win this one comfortably.

Donovan Mitchell to score 30+ points (+330)
Donovan Mitchell had a pretty modest game on Sunday, at least by his standards. The 28-year-old finished with just 19 points on 7-for-17 shooting, I’m looking at him to assert his dominance tonight as Cleveland bounces back. The Pacers have been one of his favorite opponents in recent years, with Mitchell averaging 30.2 points per game over the past 10 meetings. He’s cleared the 30-point line 5 times (3 times in the 4 most recent meetings), including a couple of 40+ point performances. During this impressive run, he’s shooting the ball at almost 49% from the field and over 43% efficiency from downtown.
Indy’s defense did a solid job containing Mitchell on Sunday, but with Haliburton likely sitting this one out, he has one less lengthy defender to worry about here. It’s been a relatively quiet start to 2025 by Mitchell, so it’s time for him to show he is worthy of starting in the All-Star Game next month in San Francisco.
Myles Turner 2+ made threes (-110)
Stepping outside the perimeter is one of the tactics the Pacers used against Evan Mobley on Sunday and it worked to perfection. Having a player like Myles Turner allows you to do things like that and Turner has made the most of his opportunities shooting the ball. He knocked down 2 of his 6 attempts on Sunday, clearing this line for the 5th time in 6 games. Against Cleveland, he’s shooting the three-ball at 45% in the last 4 meetings, while knocking down at least 2 threes in 3 of those.
If there is one Achilles heel that the Cavaliers have had this season it’s been their three-point defense. Opponents are making 36.4% of shots against them from the perimeter, which ranks only 21st in the league. That number is up to 37.1% over their last 3 games, while in road games it’s at 37.3% (8th-highest in the league). Combine all these numbers with the -110 odds for Turner to knock down a pair of threes and we have a great final leg for our Cavaliers vs Pacers Same Game Parlay to deliver a strong +1100 payout.
