Injuries that make cleveland 🩼 assembly

The Cavaliers have already had Garland (TOE) on the edge since game 2 of their first round against Miami. Now they will be without Mobley (ankle) and hunter (thumb). This leaves the CAVS two starters and one of their main players from the bank in Hunter.

In their absences, Dean Wade and Ty Jerome will join the starting line -up, while Sam Merrill, who started for Garland, will pull back onto the bench.

The Pacers will run their usual fifth.


🏎️💨indiana vs. Cleveland🎸

The Pacers had a hot start in game 1 and let the Cavaliers play on the whole evening. Cleveland took the lead for the last time with a little more than seven minutes in the fourth, 102-101, but a Tyresian Haliburton, three less than a minute later, finally brought Indiana forward and closed with a lead of 19: 11 for a win of 121: 112.

Cleveland is now exposed to a 1-0 deficit and a lost home court advantage. He will take the floor for game 2 without Darius Garland (toes), Evan Mabley (ankle) and de'andre Hunter (thumb). Your absences are seriously disadvantaged Cleveland because you try to even get the series before going to Indiana for games 3 and 4.

🌉golden State against Minnesota🌲

The Warriors and Timberwolves broke both seeds No. 7 or No. 6 in the first round and only set up the third situation in NBA history, in which a sixth and seventh seed came into the playoffs.

Each of these teams changed major changes in their roster by the wayside and triggered their success. For Golden State it was the takeover of Jimmy Butler to support the Warriors with him in the line-up of a 23: 7 record with him. For Minnesota it was a trio of returns, with Julius Randle, Donte Divincenzo and Rudy Gobert returned by an injury between the end of February and early March after a month or a longer absence. As a result, the Timberwolves ended the season with a 16: 4 run in their last 20 games
