Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on January 13. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Cavaliers played the main game of recent weeks at home on January 9. The team hosted the Western Conference leader Oklahoma and confirmed their top class - 129:122. After this game, Cleveland has played only one game so far, and it was also at home against Toronto, the East outsider - 132:126.

Now the Cavaliers have 12 wins in a row. The team from Ohio has suffered only four defeats in 37 games and is confidently leading the Eastern Conference - the gap from second-place Boston is currently 6.5 wins. In addition, it's worth noting that Cleveland has returned to the top of the offensive efficiency rankings - 122.9 points scored per game on average.

The Pacers played in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, but this championship started badly for the team. However, by the end of the first half of the regular season, Indiana found their game and have now reached the seventh spot in the East. The balance of wins is 21-18. The gap from the top-6 is only 0.5 wins. Indiana has won 11 of their previous 15 games, and only Cleveland has a better record in the Eastern Conference.

In the previous game, Indiana hosted Golden State at home, who came to the floor without Steph Curry and Draymond Green. The Pacers confidently confirmed their status as the favorite - 108:96. Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam were the most productive for Indiana with 25 points each.

In the preseason 2024 Indiana defeated Cleveland on the road - 129:117.

In the last championship, the rivals finished the season series with a score of 2:2.

Cleveland, especially in home games, demonstrates a very high efficiency of offense, and at the moment deservedly leads the rating in terms of points scored on average per game. Indiana also made progress in this regard during the current season and now has reached the 11th line in average efficiency. In general, let's bet on a total here. In addition, we take Cleveland's victory. Considering that the Cavaliers have won 33 out of 37 games, it makes no sense to bet against them.
