Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen will be back in lineup
Sources tell cleveland.com that Cavs center Jarrett Allen will make his season debut Friday night against the Indiana Pacers. Point guard Darius Garland is also returning from a nagging hamstring injury, allowing Cleveland to finally unleash its expected starting lineup — Garland, Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus and Evan Mobley.

Little frustration for #Cavs tonight. Darius Garland has a technical foul already. Now Max Strus does as well. – 8:06 PM

Jarrett Allen just attempted a free throw with his left hand. Allen is normally a righty shooter and has made 70.4% of free throws in his career.
This is Allen’s first attempt of his season. Is there an undisclosed injury? The lefty form doesn’t look as smooth as his right hand. pic.twitter.com/U5I7tFpEEA – 7:39 PM

Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Smith are both questionable for the Pacers’ home game Friday against the Cavs. Bennedict Mathurin isn’t listed, which is a positive sign.
Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen are questionable for Cavs.
It’s Game 1 of the in-season tournament. – 7:33 PM

A Knicks team without RJ Barrett falls to a Cavs team without Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen at MSG. NYK shot 5-for-30 from three and 35% overall. Knicks also missed 10 of 30 free throws. NYK (2-3) splits home & home back-to-back vs. CLE, their second back-to-back of year. – 10:06 PM

Final: Cavs 95, Knicks 89
Huge win for Cleveland, which splits a home-and-home back-to-back with the Knicks despite missing both Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen.

Another timeout at the top of the third quarter for a Knicks team asleep at the wheel. The shorthanded Cavs (no Garland, Allen) are up 56-52 three minutes into the second half. Julius Randle’s shooting struggles continue: 3/11 FG, 0/3 3PT. – 8:58 PM

Halftime here at MSG: Knicks 50, Cavs 49
Cleveland – missing Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen on the second night of a back-to-back against the Knicks – are more than hanging around.
A win tonight for NYK would win them the season series with Cleveland a week into the season. – 8:38 PM

It feels like only one team got up for this game, and it’s not the Knicks. Cavs don’t have Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland or Caris LeVert, but it’s just a 4-point game here in the 3rd quarter. Cavs are confident. Knicks are frustrated and playing undisciplined basketball. – 8:54 PM
