The Pacers are the better team here and are at home. Put those two important factors together and I just see Danny Granger and the Pacers as too cheap in this spot.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana will be on a back-to-back which is never easy but they are also flying pretty high right now after embarrassing Lebron, D-Wade and Bosh down in South Beach last night. Wade shot 1-for-13 and the Pacer bench outscored the Heat\u2019s 40-4. The next night doesn\u2019t always translate into success but these guys have now won three of five on the court and covered four of five. Jim O\u2019Brien has a blossoming big man in Roy Hibbert helping out Granger and a bunch of other solid enough players who just form a much better team than what the Cavaliers have to offer these days in the post Lebron era.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland is just a team that is without a doubt on its way down after losing their former King. The start to the season hasn\u2019t been all that terrible but there is a lack of talent there and when all is said and\u00a0done the Cavs are about a 30-33 win team.\u00a0\u00a0They were just outclassed against a\u00a0pair of heavyweights in New Orleans and San Antonio and I expect a third straight defeat tonight as the Pacers continue to improve and cash that ticket.<\/p>\n<p>The pick: Indiana NBA -4 at <a href=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_1206b_609\">SportsBook<\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information: Matt Rivers says: <\/strong>A 2-0 sweep on the hardwoods highlighted a winning Monday and now is when I build back up the momentum and prove once again that I am the best there is.
