The Cavaliers have been having a great season so far. They went from being one of the worst teams in the NBA to one of the best now and they have started to win more games again with 2 wins in their last 3 games. They have been injured recently but are still keeping up as they went into Charlotte in their last game and won on the road by 1 point. They are going up against a Pacers team that has not been playing well at all this season and they are also missing most of their starting lineup to injuries. They have been keeping their games close recently but they have still lost 3 of their last 4. They have also lost 3 of their last games on the road and the Cavaliers have a very good record at home this season. The Cavs are still injured themselves here and will likely not blow out the Pacers here as Indiana has been keeping their recent games closer but the Cavaliers should still come away with a win here.

"It's a disappointing result but there's plenty of good things going on. We've just got to stay in the fight while we're undermanned." - Rick Carlisle on his team’s loss against the Bulls on Friday night.

 

 

"He's Kevin Love. There was no doubt in our mind that when he was going to the free-throw line, he was going to make them both. There's no situation that he hasn't seen. There's no pressure-filled moment that he hasn't been in." - J.B. Bickerstaff on his team’s win against the Hornets on Friday night.
