Three Cavs players listed as questionable for tonight's game

The Cavs may be without Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley and swingman De'Andre Hunter for Game 2 and are still waiting for the return of All-Star guard Darius Garland. Mobley tweaked his left ankle with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. He was going up for a hookshot and, as he landed, stepped on Pacers forward Myles Turner's foot.
