Cleveland Cavaliers (20-16) face Indiana Pacers (14-22) in a matchup between two teams on losing streaks. The Cavs are favored by 3.5 points with an over/under of 215.5.

Key Players and Performances:

Kevin Love enters hot after a 35-point performance against Atlanta, averaging 18 points on 50% shooting in December. His consistent scoring has been crucial to Cleveland's success this season.

Jarrett Allen returned strong from health protocols with 21 points (9/11 FG), 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks. He's averaging 17 points on 70% shooting with elite rim protection this season.

Caris LeVert averaged 21.6 points and 5.3 assists in December for Indiana, including 27 points against Chicago. He's emerged as a potential trade target for the Cavs following injuries to Sexton and Rubio.

Game Prediction:

Despite recent struggles due to injuries, Cleveland should get back on track against a directionless Indiana team. While Domantas Sabonis and LeVert could have strong games, the Cavs' superior depth should prevail.

Betting Pick: Cavaliers -3.5
