One thing the Cavaliers haven't yet proved is that they are capable of creating separation against the Pacers. Cleveland's two wins are by seven points combined and it was fortunate to escape Indiana with a 104-100 victory in Game 4. The Pacers had a chance to win despite shooting 43 percent and facing another double-figure halftime deficit. Kyle Korver helped the Cavaliers with some huge 3s down the stretch, but finding a consistent second source of production to augment LeBron James remains an issue. The value is still on the underdog Wednesday even with an adjusted number.
This is a dead-even matchup so far and oddsmakers have not adjusted far enough. Grab the points with a Pacers team that was exactly one bad late possession away from leading 3-1.
