The Pacers broke their seemingly interminable skid with a win against Charlotte on Wednesday. Today, they look to parlay that momentum into a Cup victory against the Cavs. If winning the group means anything to anyone, it’s important that they succeed.
Pacers would no longer be able to win East Group A of the NBA Cup with a loss + Raptors win tonight.

The Cavs
As we know, Cleveland is a good team on both sides of the ball. They are 10-6 on the year and will be a tough test if the Pacers want to keep their newly discovered offensive in a groove.


Though our roster is significantly different, the game plan should be roughly the same as when the teams faced off in the playoffs. It will be a battle of styles, as we try to turn the game into a track meet and they try to wrestle us into submission.
Injuries
No changes from last game for the Pacers at the time of writing.
For the Cavs, Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, and Jaylon Tyson are questionable.
Chris Livingston, Sam Merrill, Max Strus, and Luke Travers are out.
