Pacers are improving
The Pacers got off to a slow start with just 6 wins in 16 games. However, they have turned their season around since the last week of November. They have won 16 out of their 24 affairs, and are in the midst of their second five-game winning streak. Their defense has improved at a rapid rate while guard Tyrese Haliburton has found his groove too. At this rate, the Pacers will head into the All-Star Break with terrific momentum.
Cavaliers are on fire
The Cavs have been the most successful squad in the Regular Season thus far. They are yet to lose more than two games in a row. Meanwhile, they have won more than 10 games twice already. The core of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley make for the most effective offense in the league. The Cavs are #1 in points by daylight with 122.1 PPG and are nailing 16.2 threes per game(3rd) on a mesmerizing 40.1% field goal(1st).

The Pacers ended the Cavs’ 12-game winning streak in emphatic fashion on Sunday. They did it without having their lead guard Tyrese Haliburton for most of the game. On the other hand, the Cavs would have been disappointed to lose a home despite having two days rest. Thus, the Pacers will have a home-court advantage, which gives them a mental edge. But the Cavs will likely get their revenge. This game is likely to be north of 220 points unlike the low-scoring affair last time.
Donovan Mitchell may explode for a 22+ points night whereas Pascal Siakam can have a 20+ points outing too.
