It's win or go home for the Pacers and Cavaliers on Sunday as they meet in a pivotal Game 7 at 1 p.m. ET. The winner plays the Raptors in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Cavaliers opened as 5.5-point home favorites, while the Over-Under -- total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored in this NBA Playoffs 2018 game -- is 199.
Before choosing a side, you need to read what SportsLine NBA handicapper Galin Dragiev, who has nailed an impressive 67 percent of his most recent against-the-spread picks involving the Cavaliers, has to say.
On Friday, Dragiev jumped on the Pacers at -1, predicting a stout defensive effort by Indiana against the Cavs. The result: the Pacers crushed the Cavaliers, 121-87, holding Cleveland to 42 percent shooting. This allowed Dragiev to cover with nearly three-dozen points to spare.
Dragiev, who got his start in the industry covering daily fantasy sports, has now examined every matchup, every player and every trend for Indiana vs. Cleveland and locked in his confident against-the-spread pick.
Dragiev knows the Cavaliers will cover the spread, if LeBron wants to advance badly enough. Throughout his career, James has been the go-to guy in the clutch, and with the season on the line, expect him to be on the hardwood for about 45 minutes and to touch the rock on nearly every possession.
But the Pacers can stay within the spread -- or win outright -- if they can keep the Game 6 momentum that led them to a 34-point victory. They can also benefit from another excellent shooting performance from Victor Oladipo, who swished 28 points on Friday, including knocking down six three-pointers in eight tries.
Dragiev knows a huge X-factor leads to one side of the spread hitting hard. He's sharing what it is, and which side to back, only at SportsLine.
So what side of Pacers-Cavaliers do you need to be all over? Visit SportsLine now to see the strong point-spread selection by Dragiev, who has nailed 67 percent of his most recent picks involving the Cavaliers, to find out.
