On the Pacers' side, Jarace Walker is the one to watch, predicted to score 22.3 points and snag 9.6 rebounds. The matchup between these stars could turn into a scoring spree, as the Vegas Over/Under of 240.5 suggests. For those tracking the spread, the Cavaliers are favored by -16.5, but the Pacers' underdog spirit could make it interesting.
