NBA Best Bets - May 6
Pacers vs. Cavaliers - 7:00 pm ET
The Pacers, against all odds, triumphed in Game 1, dismantling the Cavaliers by a tremendous 10-point margin. This was thanks to an astronomical offensive performance from the Pacers, who shot 53% from the field and 53% from three. A testament to their offensive capabilities, every starter scored in double digits! The outstanding Bennedict Mathurin even contributed 11 points off the bench.
Clearly, Indiana overpowered Cleveland in Game 1, exposing the Cavaliers' vulnerabilities. With their impressive showing, they have set the bar high for the rest of the series.
However, it's worth noting that NBA juggernauts are known for rebounding when challenged. That said, the Pacers are a fantastic team, consistently excelling in high-pressure situations. They exhibit a fierce attitude, firmly establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
Meanwhile, Darius Garland, the Cavaliers' star guard, is struggling with a toe injury. He missed Game 1, and though he might be back for Game 2, Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson expressed reservations regarding the significance of Garland listed as "questionable" for the game.
Take advantage of this anti-climactic moment for Cleveland, picking up the Pacers with an inflated +10.5 point spread. Should two key players, like Evan Mobley and De'Andre Hunter, also be listed as "questionable" on the injury report, this spread could drop even further. Even if they all play, the points might still be a wise investment.
Pick: Pacers +10.5 (-115)
