It’s Sunday, May 11, and the Cleveland Cavaliers (64-18) and Indiana Pacers (50-32) are all set to square off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Indiana is up 2-1 in the series, but Cleveland took Game 3 in demanding fashion, 126-104. Thanks to a massive 34-13 second quarter, the Cavaliers never looked back once they built a double-digit lead. The trio of Darius Garland (10 points, 3 assists), Evan Mobley (18 points, 13 rebounds), and Deandre Hunter (8 points, 5 rebounds) all returned for Cleveland, but it didn’t make much of a difference for Donovan Mitchell who had a series-high 43 points (9 rebounds, 5 assists).
The Cavaliers are currently 30-11 on the road with a point differential of 10, while the Pacers have an 8-2 record in their last ten games at home. We’ve got all the info and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on how to catch tipoff, odds, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.

Rotoworld Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Tyrese Haliburton Over 17.5 Points in Game 4:
“Tyrese Haliburton is coming off a playoff-low four points on 2-of-8 shooting and a combined 0-for-1 from three-point range and the free-throw line. That performance will be unacceptable for Haliburton and Indiana, so I expect a bounce-back performance in Game 4 at home. Haliburton scored 19 and 22 points in Games 1 and 2 and scored at least 17 points in five of the previous seven postseason games. I like the upside for a 20-plus point game from Haliburton, so I like the Over 17.5 Points up to 18.5.”
