What to know: Cleveland is in a world of hurt. It played without star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) for the second half of Sunday's Game 4, a blowout defeat. Indiana plastered the Cavs, and was up 80-39 at halftime. The top-seed in the East is now down 3-1, heading back home for Game 5.

In Games 1 and 2, they averaged 104 possessions. That has dropped to 94.5 the past two games. The pace is clearly slower.

The Denver Nuggets face the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight in Game 5 of a 2-2 series that’s been a back-and-forth affair thus far.
