Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction: Underestimated Pacers

Prediction for the NBA Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers match, which will take place on February 6th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers lost 10 of 11 games in the second half of January, but their primary point guard Tyrese Haliburton has returned after an injury. Is it time to start a winning streak? In two matches after Haliburton's return, Indiana first lost to the Los Angeles Lakers by just one point (111:112). In an equally stubborn struggle, they are coping with the third team of the Western Conference, Sacramento - 107:104. The Pacers return to the battle for the playoffs, and at the moment, they occupy the tenth place in the East.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers are playing great at home this season (22-6), but they are unsuccessful away (10-16). This imbalance is connected with the still youth of the primary team, to which, although Donovan Mitchell was added to this championship, it is not yet clear how capable he is of becoming the leader of Cleveland over a long distance.

In the previous match, the Cavaliers confidently beat Memphis (128:113), which played without several leaders. J.B. Bickerstaff's team closed the home stretch 2-1 – except for Memphis, beating the Los Angeles Clippers (122:99) and losing to Miami (97:100).

Expert Betting Tips

Before Haliburton's injury, Indiana claimed the top 10 of the East and even the top 6. After the point guard returns to the floor, the Pacers will most likely get the victories they lost in January. Cleveland is losing much worse on the road this season than at home, so a meeting with the Cavaliers is an excellent opportunity for Indiana to achieve significant success. At least, the bookmakers underestimate the Pacers' chances of winning here.
