Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Indiana Pacers Game Preview
It’s Tuesday, January 14, and the Cleveland Cavaliers (33-5) and the Indiana Pacers (22-18) are all set to square off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will have revenge on their minds after having their 12-game winning streak ended by the Pacers on Sunday. The Cavs led by 15 points in the first half but had a disastrous third quarter. They should get back on track as Tyrese Haliburton (injury) is doubtful for the home team.
The Cavaliers are currently 13 – 3 on the road with a point differential of 11, while the Pacers have a 6 – 4 record in their last ten games at home.
