Cleveland Cavaliers vs Indiana Pacers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 1, 2025

Donovan Mitchell's 43-point outburst powered Cleveland past Indiana, a sharp reversal of the teams' most recent matchup. Three weeks ago, the Pacers held the Cavaliers to 120 points in a 109-120 loss; this time, Cleveland's offensive firepower overwhelmed a defense that had conceded 118.5 points per game over its last ten contests. The Cavaliers finished with 135 points, well above Indiana's recent 111.9-point scoring average, fueling a 254-point combined total that cleared the market line of 230.5 by 23.5 points.

The third quarter decided the game's tenor. After a relatively balanced first half—120 combined points split evenly between the teams—the third quarter exploded for 69 combined points, with Cleveland outscoring Indiana 33–36. That surge gave the Cavaliers momentum they sustained in the fourth, where both squads combined for 65 points. Mitchell was the engine, posting 9 rebounds and 6 assists alongside his scoring load, while Jaylon Tyson added 27 points and 11 rebounds in a dominant two-man performance. Pascal Siakam (26 points, 7 rebounds) and Andrew Nembhard (21 points, 6 assists) kept Indiana competitive, but the Cavaliers' depth—Evan Mobley chipped in 13 points and 5 assists—proved decisive. DAGGER leaned under on the pregame total and missed as the game landed firmly over.
