If the last game was “cinema,” then Friday night’s Game 3 should not disappoint. The Cavaliers-Pacers series moves to Indiana, where the home team can notch an insurmountable 3-0 lead over the top seed Cleveland. The NBA odds for tonight, however, see Cleveland getting back in the series as the slight favorite. That didn’t help the Cavs as Indiana won both games as an underdog. We’re banking on a third straight instance.

Cavaliers vs Pacers Semifinals Prediction
The series has been high-scoring by NBA playoff standards. We see these teams continuing to score in the 110s in another nail-biter of a game. Indiana should pull it off again, even if the NBA’s latest news expects Cleveland to have some of its injured stars back. Bet on Indiana to win and go up 3-0.

Pacers F Pascal Siakam Under 18.5 Points (-110)
Indiana is winning, so few have scrutinized just how off Pascal Siakam has been. The three-time All-Star has scored 12 points, 17, 10 and 12 in his last four games. And now he has to contend with a returning Evan Mobley. Things are not good for the former Raptor, so bet against his points prop.

Cavaliers F/C Evan Mobley Over 29.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-112)
The Cavaliers will need a big game from Evan Mobley. And we’re saying “yes!” to his NBA player prop bets. The star averages 19.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per 36 minutes. And there is a good chance he plays 36+ in a desperate scenario for Cleveland. Bet over his combo props.

Pacers G Tyrese Haliburton to Record a Double Double (-134)
Tyrese Haliburton should have another solid outing. He’s putting up 18.4 points and 10.7 assists in these playoffs. He’s had a double-double in five of the seven games, and he was just one assist shy in one. Our NBA prop pick is for him to have his sixth.

Cavaliers vs Pacers Total Pick
Bet on the total to go over again. Six of Cleveland’s last seven games, along with five of Indiana’s last six, have all trended the same way. These teams are sound defensively, but play too fast and too prolifically offensively. Indiana does not need to hit the 120-point mark to cash this over
Cavaliers vs Pacers ML Pick
We can’t bet against Indiana, especially as an underdog. The value is too good for our NBA expert pick. The Pacers are 8-2 in one-possession decisions this season and are 6-1 in overtime. This tells us just how “clutch” they are. Cleveland will have to blow this team out, and we don’t see that happening. Bet the Pacers to win.
Cavaliers vs Pacers ATS Pick
Naturally, our pick against the spread (ATS) is Indiana. The Pacers not only know how to win close games, but have also been good ATS. They are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games, even if their overall record at home (20-23-1) leaves plenty to be desired. Winning covers the spread as it does shorten their NBA Championship odds.
Bet On Indiana Pacers +2.5 (-110)
