Cavaliers vs. Pacers Predictions For Tonight NBA Playoffs Game 4, 5/11

The Cavs were able to get off to that fast start we were predicting in part because they were able to get back all three of their key injuries from Games 1 and 2. That would be Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and De’Andre Hunter.

The one sandwiched in the middle was the most impactful in our eyes, but more on that coming up specifically. There were certainly streaks in which the Pacers were feeding off the home crowd to spark a comeback, but outside of a last-second three to tie the game at 32-32 to end the first quarter, they never actually had a lead.

Speaking of which, it was actually the first Indiana home playoff loss in which they never held a lead since 2006. Their 13-point second quarter was a major factor in that being the case, so now the question is if they can figure out the Cavs’ zone defense? That’s what the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Pacers predictions will help answer!

 

 

 

Cleveland Cavaliers: Evan Mobley Mans Up

There has been so much talk regarding the Clutch Player of the Year with New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, and rightfully so, but what about a different award? Let’s give some love to Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley. He manned up from putting no weight on his injured ankle to playing in Game 3.

His DPOY award has finally gotten some limelight, but it truly was so impactful in Cleveland’s Game 3 win. Even if 13 rebounds for Evan Mobley is more par for the course than anything, he helped the Cavs dominate the offensive glass, which is why they outscored the Pacers 21-4 on second-chance buckets.

 

 

 

Indiana Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton Held In Check

Speaking of clutch players, an argument can be made - a great one in fact - that Indiana’s Tyrese Haliburton could have won the award. He’s proven it twice this postseason alone with game-winning shots, but it’s safe to say that Friday night was a polar opposite performance from the Pacers superstar.

Seeing him end the first half with just two points and three assists was shocking enough, but many could have thought, surely he’ll explode in the second half as we so often see. Well, the Cavs and the defense of the aforementioned Evan Mobley were having none of it - Tyrese Haliburton ENDED the game with just four points and five assists!

Cavaliers vs. Pacers Best Bet: Tyrese Haliburton Over 26.5 Points + Assists (-125 At BetMGM Sportsbook)

That’s right - even after sharing how Tyrese Haliburton was held in check in Game 3, here’s the focus of our Cavaliers vs. Pacers predictions for Game 4. As happy as the Pacers should be that they got 50 points from their bench to try and overcome a rare off night for Haliburton, we expect their star to take over once again.

Even if the Cavs are able to even up the series, Haliburton has never had an issue being a stat-stuffer, which is all we care about for this pick. Right off the bat, his season average is already higher than this line at 27.7 combined points and assists per game.

You could even consider points+assists+rebounds given that he’s averaged 5.5 rebounds per game this postseason. However, we’re sticking with just what he’s known for, especially with Cleveland having both of their big men - Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen - healthy and on the court together.

Tyrese Haliburton is also averaging 10 assists per game in these playoffs, and it’s not as if the nerves of the home crowd have been an issue. He began the entire postseason with back-to-back 12-assist games against the Milwaukee Bucks.

He also closed out that series with 26 points and began this one with 22 points, so he has the ability to get near this line with points alone. Consider that his standalone assist prop is 9.5 and priced to the over, which suggests that another double-digit assist game is in his future. After all, he had 10 of them when these teams met just before the regular season ended.

It’s not often we get value on a superstar at home, but we love Tyrese Haliburton over 26.5 points + assists (-125 at BetMGM Sportsbook) as the best bet from our Cavaliers vs. Pacers predictions.
