You really can't get much closer than these teams have been over the past four games in this series! After a ringing 18-point outright road win in Game One that went to Indiana, the next four have been decided by a grand total of just 12-points, with the Cavaliers coming out on top in three of those four.
Percentages are heavily in favor of the team that wins Game Five when tied at two to win the series, and that well may be the case, but I don't see it happening on Indiana's home court tonight.
Cleveland is/was sky-high after the LeBron James block on Victor Oladipo's and his subsequent three-pointer as time expired to win the game outright for the Cavaliers in their home court, but they are NOT playing this one at home tonight, and I think they are going to be a little "hungover" from that emotional win. On the flip side, I see Indy using that loss as a major motivator in front of their home crowd, and I see them getting out in front early in this one (they were up seven at the break on Wednesday) and staying out in front in this game as they look to push this one to the full seven games.
Oladipo had another "off" game - his third in a row - and Collison was saddled with foul issues. I just don't see that happening again tonight.
The home team has won outright in six of the last eight meetings, and the Pacers are on a 7-2 against the spread run the past nine meetings.
Pacers to force Game Seven on Sunday.
2* INDIANA

Your Friday freebie is the Cavs-Pacers Under the total.
The oddsmakers have not budged too much off of the totals in this Cavaliers-Pacers series, and these teams certainly have not budged either, as it has been low, low, low, and more low when these teams face another.
While there have been definite moments of fast-paced offense in this series, invariably one team - if not both - just gets stopped by the other team's defense, and the Under has cashed in all 5 of the games played to date.
Track it back further, and they Under is 7-0-1 the past 8 meetings this year, and 8-1-1 the past 10 series meetings!
The Cavs are 12-4 Under the total in their last 1 games dating back to the regular season, while the Pacers are on a pronounced 23-7 Under run their last 30 that dates back to the regular season.
Cleveland has reached the triple-digit mark just twice in this series, while Indiana only once through 5 games. It sure looks like first team to 100 is the winner to me.
Until the oddsmakers bump the total down a few buckets, I suggest sticking with the established series trends, and the established team trends that all point towards another Under.
Game to hold low.
5* CLEVELAND-INDIANA UNDER
