Cavs win tonight, even when missing players.

They are still a great team and I cannot see them losing both home games.

Ehhhh, Cavs would be missing their 2nd (Garland), 3rd (Mobley), and 4th (Hunter) regular season scoring options.

I may be bad luck anyway. They always do better when I’m working. :lol:

Yea, fair. Hopefully they can play.

Worth noting though, the Pacers ALWAYS play down to their competition though. Last two years we’ve done much better than expected against good teams and much worse than expected against bad teams(or injured teams.)

Pacers lose these games frequently.

I'm still seeing them listed as GTD.

Going to need an enormous Ty Jerome game tonight.

He's gotta have better shot selection tonight, guy got blocked like 4 times. That transition long 2 really took the air outta the building too.

We all know he's headed to a big pay day this summer but we need him to play smart tonight.

Good news for Cavs backers, public is still on the Pacers near gametime.

Agree. Especially this time of the year. Wish everyone could be at full strength when the games really matter.

Pacer fans know how we do against depleted teams. It'll be a battle either way.

Cavs can't lose the first two on their home court, they'll be fighting for their playoff lives.

You guys really lack the shot creation and playmaking without Garland. Ty Jerome and Evan Mobley will need to burden more offensive responsibility if the Cavaliers expect to win.

Who wins?
