Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Current situation
Winning 50 games is still in play for the Pacers who are 48-31 SU at the moment, following a 5-game win streak. They are one of the elite home teams in the Eastern Conference with 28 wins in 38 games, a win on Thursday clinches the 4th seed which would give them home court advantage in a potential 1st round series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Cavaliers will enter the postseason as the number 1 seed in the East, they are also still hoping to catch the OKC Thunder for the best overall record however with just 3 games left that’s looking unlikely at this point. Head Coach Kenny Atkinson could reside to resting certain players over this final week of the regular season, which could be beneficial down the line in the postseason.

Indiana’s latest win was a 104-98 triumph over the Washington Wizards, their 5th straight victory. Pascal Siakam had 24 and 10 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton added 22 and 6 assists. The three-ball didn’t go down as expected for the Pacers who shot just 9-for-35 from deep, that’s definitely something they’ll have to look into as they face one of the most prolific three-point shooting teams in the league.

Betting tip and prediction: Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers (10.04.2025)
Cleveland’s season is pretty much in the books following their win over Chicago which clinched the number one seed ahead of the Boston Celtics. This game will not carry as much weight to them as it will for the Indiana Pacers who still need a win to clinch the 4th seed ahead of the surging Bucks. Neither team has been able to win a home game in this match-up this year, the Pacers enter Thursday’s game on a run of 12 wins in 13 home games which makes them one of the more dominant home teams in the league. Both Siakam and Haliburton are healthy and putting up numbers, that will be the key for the Pacers if they intend on making a deep playoff run this season. As mentioned earlier, there is a chance the Cavaliers could give more minutes to their rotation players, just so they can get them into rhythm as we are in the final week of the regular season. In their only win over Cleveland this season the Pacers showed up on defense holding them to just 93 points and we believe that’ll be the gameplan in Thursday’s game. Indiana’s three-point defense has been nothing short of spectacular in the last 3 games with opponents knocking down just 28.7% of attempts against them. As we all know the Cavs rely on the three-ball to get the majority of their points, they’re coming off a 25 made threes night in their win over Chicago. Indiana will be a much tougher opponent though, the Pacers have been convincing enough in recent games to warrant us backing them to cover here.
