Cleveland Cavaliers get a close-up of the Pacers -- the team they should try to emulate CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Prior to the 2017-18 season, the Indiana Pacers' over-under win total was set at 31.5. Sound familiar? It should. This season, the oddsmakers have the same view of the LeBron-less Cleveland Cavaliers, putting their number at 30.5. Of course, the Pacers -- who handed the Cavaliers their first loss of the preseason on Monday night and taught them plenty of lessons throughout -- went on to eclipse that total, earned a trip to the playoffs and gave Cleveland a hard-fought tussle in the first round.
