In Game 2, the Pacers flipped the script again and won by a point (120-119) as Tyrese Haliburton nailed the game-winner. Can the Cavaliers recover from the heartbreak, or has Indiana broken their spirits?

They were up by three points with 12 seconds left in the game, and Tyrese Haliburton was on the line for two free throws.<\/p><p>He made one but missed the second one, however, Pacers center Myles Turner tapped the ball back to Haliburton. The Pacers&rsquo; PG nailed a game-winning stepback jumper, as the Cavs failed to level the series.<\/p><p>The Cavs had jumped to a 17-point lead by the end of the first quarter. They had maintained a 14-point lead before the start of the fourth quarter. However, they blew the lead and the Pacers won despite a seven-point deficit with less than a minute left in the game.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Cavs&rsquo; ace Donovan Mitchell had to play out of his skin again in the absence of Darius Garland and Evan Mobley. He scored 48 points but has shot just 2\/17 from the three-point line in the series. Jarrett Allen and Max Strus combined for 45 points, but Cleveland&rsquo;s lack of clutch defense hurt them again.<\/p><p>For the Pacers, Haliburton, Aaron Nesmith, Myles Turner, and Benedict Mathurin scored in the 19-23 points range, continuing their theme of brilliant scoring balance. <\/p><p>They shot an incredible 51% from the field compared to 43% by the Cavaliers. The Cavs need to improve their defense after allowing Indiana 120+ in two straight games. Not having Mobley hurt in Game 2, but even he couldn&rsquo;t help his team sustain a strong defense in Game 1.<\/p><p><strong>Pacers Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Tyrese Haliburton | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Andrew Nembhard |<strong> SF: <\/strong>Aaron Nesmith | <strong>PF: <\/strong>Pascal Siakam | <strong>C: <\/strong>Myles Turner<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players<\/strong>: <strong>SG<\/strong>: Benedict Mathurin, <strong>PG<\/strong>: TJ McConnell, <strong>SF<\/strong>: Jarace Walker, <strong>PF<\/strong>: Obi Toppin<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates:<\/strong> Isaiah Jackson is OUT for the game.<\/p><p><strong>Cavaliers Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG: <\/strong>Darius Garland | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Donovan Mitchell | <strong>SF: <\/strong>Max Strus | <strong>PF<\/strong>: Evan Mobley | <strong>C: <\/strong>Jarrett Allen<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players<\/strong>: <strong>SG<\/strong>: Ty Jerome, <strong>SF: <\/strong>DeAndre Hunter, <strong>SF: <\/strong>Sam Merrill.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates<\/strong>: Darius Garland is QUESTIONABLE.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Total Over\/Under Prediction<\/strong><\/h2><p>The bookmarks placed near identical odds for a total of 229-230 in the first two games. They nailed their predictions both times as the points tally was on the &ldquo;over&rdquo; side of things. Game 2 produced 240 points while Game 1 produced 233. <\/p><p>The bookmakers projected a &lsquo;negligible&rsquo; dip in the overall scoring. They have attached identical odds around the total of 227-228. Anyway, I picked &ldquo;Over&rdquo; in Game 1 and &ldquo;Under&rdquo; in Game 2, so I have been 1\/2 thus far.<\/p><p> A bit confused about which way I should go here, considering the high-scoring nature of the first two games. But wouldn&rsquo;t there finally be some defensive adjustments? Thus, I opt for &ldquo;Under&rdquo; again despite the choice failing last game.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Total:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong> Under 228.5 for -110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Pacers: Points <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>&nbsp;Under 112.5 for -110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Player Props Predictions- NBA Betting Picks<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Donovan Mitchell to score Over 30.5 points: <\/strong>Mitchell has to ball out of his mind to keep the Cavs offense alive without his backcourt mate Darius Garland.

I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats.
