OKC Thunder - CLE Cavaliers

I was saddened by Pacers' home loss, when their scoring ratio was at 2.25 and now it has even gone up. Indiana has already proven that they can compete with the CAVS on equal ground. Tyrese Haliburton and CO are in great shape, playing at home, and the pressure to prove something falls on the CAVS. To top it off, the Cavaliers are still struggling with injuries.

Hello.
NBA 2nd round. Pacers vs Cavs game 3. We are going with a Cavs negative handicap.
Pacers unexpectedly won both away matches and now in the series against Cavs, they are trailing 0-2. In the first game, it was surprising to see the Pacers win in Peru, but in the second game, everything went their way. Mitchell had a great performance and Haliburton's last-minute shots helped the Pacers team. Now they will play at home in front of their fans and they look very strong, so what's the logic in betting against them?
Let's start with the fact that the Pacers are overachieving and players like Nembhard and Nesmith are playing above their abilities. I don't believe they can keep this up for the whole series. Second, the Cavs are playing without Garland and Mobley, but it's highly likely that at least one of them will return today, it's a do-or-die game and both are listed as GTD. Third, the team simply can't afford to lose this game because coming back from a 0-3 deficit will be almost impossible and the series will be over after this game. The Pacers heavily rely on their 3-point shooting, but the Cavs have a good defense against it. In the regular season and the first round, the Cavs looked almost unstoppable and I don't see them giving up today. It should be a statement win and knowing that the Pacers struggle with defense and rely on a run and gun style of play, I expect a 10+ point win for the Cavs as guests. They can and I believe they want to prove something as the Eastern Conference leaders and under better circumstances, we wouldn't see such a negative handicap. I think we should take advantage of this. Good luck.
