Preseason Live Thread: Cavs @ Pacers

Good evening CtB!

The Cavs take a trip across the border to take on the Indiana Pacers in what will be their fifth and final preseason game. According to Chris Fedor of cleveland.com, Collin Sexton (shoulder) and Dylan Windler (hip) will be held out for precautionary reasons, and the core rotation players will probably only see a quarter of action at most.

As #Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff told us earlier this week, starters/regulars are only going to play 6-8 minutes, one final burn, in tonight's preseason finale. Sources tell @clevelanddotcom Collin Sexton (shoulder) and Dylan Windler (hip) will not play. Lauri Markkanen starting at 3

Lauri Markkanen will start at the small forward position, one last look at the big lineup which has been successful so far in the preseason. It will be a chance for the end of bench and two-way players to prove their mettle before the regular season roster is finalized.

Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM ET, and will be broadcasted on Bally Sports Ohio. GO CAVS!!!
