Pacers vs. Cavaliers Live updates: 2025 NBA Playoffs game 5 start time, selection and predictions

Has Kenny Atkinson pulled a status disease card or something? Donovan Mitchell left game 4 after playing a calf pollution. He said he would be available today. Evan Mabley (ankle), Darius Garland (toe) and de'andre Hunter (thumb) have missed all parts of this series.

The way it looks, the cavs are beaten by their own schedule. They were the owners of the best rated offensive of the regular season and prioritized the ball movement, the flexibility and the pace with limited sales. It is now that Indiana does all of this and what the elite shotmaker looks like and shoots 41.9 percent from the 3-point range of this series.

The Cavs injured and spinning and return home to try to force a game 6. Mitchell looks above average and scores an average of 34 points per game, but only shoots 22 percent to 3S. Cleveland will need more from Garland. The CAVs had a back advisory advantage and on a relief that is under pressure and recently incurable location, they will take all the points of the second chance that they can get (or third/fourth if Mobley is in the best form).

No matter the opponent, the Pacers really drive around these rounds. Six different goal scorers have an average of between 13 and 18 points per game. Haliburton has 27 templates for six sales. Aaron Nesmith looks like Reggie Miller when the calendar turns over in May and the entire squad has had a vengeful edge since the overvalued word.

Indiana was amazed by the 3-2 zone in game 3 and then made the correct adjustments to use it. Game 4. A desperate appearance will throw a desperate opponent. Even if something hits, the Pacers showed that they can adapt a potential game 6.

This entire rotation was here for the seismic semi -finals last year. Rick Carlisle has a ring and he deserves it from one of the hardest gloves of all time.
