The Cleveland Cavaliers (32-21) face the Indiana Pacers (19-35) in a matchup where the Cavs are favored by 6 points, with an over/under of 217 points.

Key Factors:

• Darius Garland is questionable with a back injury
• Brandon Goodwin averaging 13.3 points, 6.0 assists in Garland's absence
• Kevin Love surging with 19.0 points, 10.0 rebounds over last 6 games
• Caris LeVert coming off 42-point performance for Pacers
• Domantas Sabonis remains out for Indiana

Recent Performance:

• Cavs narrowly beat Charlotte Hornets last game
• Pacers on two-game losing streak
• Love scored 11 crucial fourth-quarter points vs Hornets
• LeVert shot 19-of-26 in latest game with 8 assists

Prediction: Cleveland should win and cover the spread, even without Garland. Their scoring depth through Mobley, Love, and Allen, plus solid team shooting, gives them the edge over a Pacers team missing Sabonis and relying heavily on LeVert.
