Live Thread: Cavs @ Pacers

Good evening CtB!

The Cavs are in the Crossroads of America tonight to take on the Indiana Pacers in a tough Central Division clash. The Cavs will be looking to put an end to their two game losing streak. The Pacers are locked in a tight battle to get into the precious sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. It’s a game that the Cavs should win, but any lack of focus and they’ll be walking away with an L.

INJURY REPORT:

#Cavs Robin Lopez (illness) is OUT tonight against the Pacers. Cedi Osman (lower back soreness) is QUESTIONABLE.

What do the Cavs need to do to win tonight? Shut down Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin, both of whom torched the Cavs in the first meeting. The Cavs’ defense is the most dominant unit of the game, they need to impose their will on the defensive end and they should come away with the win.

Tip off is scheduled for 7:00PM Eastern time and will be broadcasted live on Bally Sports Great Lakes/Ohio, Go Cavs!
