|---|---|---|
| NBA | (509) Indiana Pacers at (510) Cleveland Cavaliers | 6:10pm EDT - Apr 5/2026 |
The PLAY: Indiana Pacers +17.5 (-115)
Care to guess which team has the worst point spread mark in the NBA? Hint: It's not the tanking Pacers. Indiana actually is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games.
It is none other than the Cavaliers. Cleveland is 30-46-1 ATS for 39.4 percent. No other team has a worse point spread record.
The Cavaliers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. This is their first game back from a three-game West Coast road trip that finished this past Thursday night at Golden State. I doubt the Cavaliers will be real focused for the Pacers, who they have already beaten three times this season.
Indiana doesn't win. But the Pacers have been covering at an 88 percent rate the past 2 1/2 weeks. They can produce points, having scored 119 or more in six of their last eight games.
The Cavaliers beat the Pacers by only four points, 120-116, at Indiana in the team's last meeting on Jan. 6.
(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 23-10 on his last 33 NBA premium/free plays, including 8-3 on his last 11.)
Consultant Bio
Stephen Nover is unique among professional handicappers. A multiple award-winning sportswriter for numerous newspapers, including the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nover has one the best combinations of gambling and media sources in the world.
The author of two sports gambling books, "Las Vegas Sports Beat" and "Sports Gaming Beat", along with a book on fantasy football titled, "Winning Fantasy Football", Nover is a former professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas having taught a football handicapping class there. He also was the co-host of the Sunday night sports betting radio show "The Stardust Line" during the 1990's.
Parlaying nearly 50 years worth of professional gambling experience with tremendous knowledge of the players through elite deep-roster Rotisserie leagues and building on copious gaming and media sources - having worked for newspapers in the Midwest, South and West and also for legendary Hall of Fame oddsmaker Roxy Roxborough - Nover is a true Las Vegas wise guy. He helped learn his craft from such masters as Roxborough, Dave Malinsky, Lem Banker and Russ Culver.
Part of what makes Nover so special is the pride he takes in writing his deep-dive analysis, which always is unique, well-researched and sometimes entails out-of-the-box thinking.
