Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for April 10 | NBA 2024-25 season

The Indiana Pacers, in the midst of their final homestand before the regular season commences, take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. Rick Carlisle's boys are coming off a 104-98 win against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. This contest marks the third meeting between the two teams, with the winner set to gain a 2-1 advantage in their season series.

The Pacers and the Cavaliers first faced off against each other on Jan. 12 at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Indiana managed a 108-93 win despite Tyrese Haliburton’s absence in the second half. Andrew Nembhard stepped up by scoring 19 points, while the frontcourt duo of Myles Turner and Pascal Siakam collectively put up 33 points and 19 rebounds.

The Cavaliers, meanwhile, witnessed strong performances from Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, combining for 55 points. However, the All-Star trio couldn’t prevent the Pacers from snapping their 12-game win streak.

Cleveland redeemed themselves two nights later at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, though. The Cavaliers required a dominant display from Mitchell, who had a 35-point and 9-assist near-double-double, to overcome the Haliburton-less Pacers. Four other players – Mobley, Garland, Jarrett Allen and Max Strus – also contributed with double-digit scoring performances in the 127-117 victory.

Thursday's result will have no consequence on Cleveland’s positioning in the standings, explaining their reason for ruling out a few members from the starting lineup. However, a win will guarantee the Pacers the #4 seed for the playoffs.
