On Tuesday, January 14, the Cleveland Cavaliers (33-5) prepare to take on the Indiana Pacers (22-18) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, and both teams have a lot to play for.
After seeing their impressive 12-game winning streak come to an abrupt end against the Pacers last Sunday, the Cavaliers are determined to regain their momentum. Despite a 15-point lead in the first half, a disastrous third quarter disrupted their efforts. As they return to the floor, the absence of Tyrese Haliburton (injury) for the Pacers could tip the scales in favor of the Cavaliers on the road.
With an excellent away record of 13-3 and an impressive point differential of 11, the Cavaliers are proving their worth away from home. On the other hand, the Pacers have managed a respectable 6-4 record in their last ten home games.
