The read

Laying -1050 on Cleveland is how bankrolls die slow, and this spread is clearly inflated by that moneyline tax. A 15-point number assumes Cleveland controls all four quarters, but big favorites up double digits tend to ease off late, and that back door is wide open when you’re spotting this many points.

You’re being paid on Indiana simply to be competent for 48 minutes, and in the NBA, talent gaps rarely justify three-possession cushions in every quarter. The only real risk is the Pacers completely no-showing offensively, but with a total floating around 240, the market itself expects enough scoring for +15 to have plenty of room.

I’m taking the ugly side with Indiana and the points—question is whether you’ve got the guts to stand in front of the public steam on Cleveland.
