Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

Neither the Pacers nor Cavaliers have played good basketball in Vegas, so if forced to pick a side, I’m going to grab the points where I can get them. It just happens to be the Cavaliers in this spot. Also, the Pacers have a point differential of -6 points in the summer league, while the Cavs have a point differential of -2.7 points. Knowing that, you can make a case the Cavs have been the better team through four games. Give me the Cavs and the free bucket in this Saturday summer league game.
