Indiana @ Cleveland picks

We’ve got a predictably long injury report to digest today, with neither team willing to take too many chances on the eve of the playoffs. But it sounds as if the Indiana Pacers aren’t shutting down quite as many key cogs as the Cleveland Cavaliers, and that should put the visitors — confirmed as the No. 4 seed — in position for their 50th win of the season. Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam will rest, but Myles Turner, Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith could see some minutes, surrounded by feisty second-unit players who’ve been sparkplugs all year. The Indiana backups have shown they won’t back down from anyone. They proved that again last month by taking down the Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime without their first-choice starting five, and I’m laying this small spread with Rick Carlisle’s squad this afternoon.
