On Friday night, the 2-13 Indiana Pacers will head on the road to take on the 10-6 Cleveland Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET on Prime Video.
This game marks the first game between both teams since their Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup last season, which culminated in a five-game series win for Indiana. As for the regular season, the Pacers have three of their last four against the Cavaliers and seven of their last 10.
Though the Cavaliers hold the No. 4 seed and are looking like a good team in the East, their record could be considered a bit of a disappointment as most expected them to clearly be one of the two best teams in the conference, along with the New York Knicks. They will look to get things back on track on Friday.
