The Cleveland Cavaliers (65-15 SU, 48-32 ATS,34-45-1 O/U) and Indiana Pacers (35-45 SU, 44-34-2 ATS, 44-34-2 O/U) will both look to extend their respective ATS winning streaks in the BetOnline Sportsbook when they battle at Conseco Fieldhouse tonight at 7 PM ET.
The Cavaliers absolutely spanked the Boston Celtics on Sunday, winning their fourth straight game while covering the spread for the third time in their last four games, this time as 6.5-point home favorites.
LeBron James scored 29 points and added seven assists for Cleveland before sitting out the final period while the 183 combined points played Under the posted over/under total (184.5).
The Pacers, who will miss the postseason for the third straight year, beat Detroit 106-102 on Saturday for their fifth win in seven games, covering the spread as 2-point home favorites while the final score played Over the 206-point O/U total.
All-star forward Danny Granger scored a team-high 24 points while rookie shooting guard Brandon Rush continued his late-season push to be the starter at shooting guard next season, hitting five 3-pointers and finishing with 21 points.

NBA Odds
Cleveland Cavaliers -3½ -110
Indiana Pacers +3½ -110
Over 208 -110
Under 208 -110
Analysis: While Cleveland has failed to cover the spread in two of the last three meetings against the Pacers the Cavaliers need to win either this game or its season finale at home against Philadelphia to clinch the NBA’s best record and secure home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. The Cavs would also like to avenge their controversial 96-95 road loss to Indiana in their last meeting back on Feb. 10 and I like them to ‘handle their business’ in this one BetOnline NBA sports betting fanatics!
With the Under playing out in two straight and three of the last four meetings, I say take the Under and the Cavaliers minus the points BetOnline NBA sports betting enthusiasts.
